ok slowly sorting out the electrical on my 73 have been avoiding it because:
1). i had some mechanical issues
2). i suck at electrical and often do more harm that good
3). the po wired in a monster sound system and alarm and it is a mess under the dash.
issues are
a). no horn have power to relay will ck the horns themselves but if they work is the issue in the turn signal switch?
b). oil temp gauge po wired in had sensor wire clipped
i ordered an electric one to fill the hole where do i tap into 12 v?
c). no dash or gauge lights the courtesy light on all the time can i use that courtesy light wiring as power source? the is a 'plug' down by the reostat in driver side footwell w black and yellow wires coming from it but not plugged in. is that the problem?
d). no power to cigar lighter. i dont smoke but would like to power my garman or ipod. is the power to the lighter the pink wire that is not hot or the 'blue' wire that is clipped? cant get answer by pondering the wiring diagrams
thanks in advance joe
