After the fusebox, t-top drain, etc saga i still have some issues, which are obviously still related to this issue, but am needing some more direction please :)

 

speedo, oil pressure gauge, windscreen washer button not working - i think these must be related to each other?

 

I have checked the 10A fuse labelled "meter" on the diagram and this is fine, i have checked most of the other fuses in there now, will finish the rest later anyway.

Next will be to check and re-seat the plug connectors that i can get to again. Hopefully i haven't missed any, especially if they were on the back?

 

Do they run from a specific connector, as i couldn't find that on the wiring diagram? Did i miss a relay to check on the back?

 

Is it possible i have pulled a connector loose from behind the dash, while manipulating the fuseboard?

Is there another fuse or relay that runs these from somewhere else i can check?

Ok, found the issue, one of the connectors had either been missed by me, or not been put back in properly by me and come loose.

 

So that fixed all of the above issues, and also as it turns out, it fixed another issue which i had thought was unrelated...

 

Main beam was also stuck on on driver side only, which i thought was an earth or relay problem and was going to investigate separately.

 

 

Now, my remaining electrical issue to fix is, the n/s front fog light runs dimmer than the other, although the bulb is correct wattage.

Anyone got an idea for that?

My basic electrical knowledge would suggest a resistor or another bulb is running in serial with it somewhere.

Are both bulbs the same age?

 

If not replace both they do fade over time.

 

If not, check the voltage at the plug both sides you would expect a difference.

i tested the bulb directly off the battery and it was fine and bright, didnt think to test the voltage at the plug lol.

will do that over the weekend
