Vehicle died last week. Worked out it was an electrical issue as no power to the fuel stop solenoid, so I bypassed it straight to the battery to get me home.
I found the original white wire to the stop solenoid had been bypassed already, I traced this back today to find it had been bodged by stuffing a bare wire into a spade terminal in the bulkhead glow plug realy
Symptoms:
No power to stop solenoid, fuel gauge, temp gauge, oil presure dash light, or choke light (I know, presumeably it's a glowplug light) dipped headlights or main beam, no indicators, hazard light work on left, but not right unless the indicator is switched to the right while the hazard switch is on; no brake lights, no fog light. There is power to starter motor, side lights, radio, CB.
All internal bulkhead fuses intact, found the 7.5A fuse for the stop solendoid had gone so replaced it. High amp fuses in engine bay all intact.
My starter solenoid has been a bit iffy since playing at Tixover a couple of weeks back, not sure if that's connected to this latest issue.
I presumed the glowplug realy had gone due to the previous bodge, I have just replaced the glow plug realy and symptoms remain the same.
I'm a bit stumped, any advice as to how to tackle this issue would be much appreciated!
