Hello guys I am lost with an electric problem of my 69 Satellite I cannot get around.
It all started some days ago when I was driving along and realized that my aftermarket tach was not showing any rpm.
Then I saw that the dash lightning was out.
When I got home I realized that the following items were dead (that had all previously worked):
Aftermarket tach
Aftermarket electric oil pressure gauge
Dash lightning
Fans, heating
Radio
Turn signals
Wiper, washer
Reversing lights
In full working order are:
Headlights
High beams
Brake lights
Speedometer
Fuel gauge
Voltmeter
Map light
Ignition switch light
Dome light
Glove box light
Trunk light
Oil pressure Idiot light when engine is off.
I did not check the horn.
Given that the items that work do not need a key in the "On" position to function and the things that do not work need it, I suspect that there is some kind of problem with the ignition switch?!
That is as far as I came by myself...
Do you have any ideas what to look for, what to check/ replace/ repair/ reconnect in order to get the electrics up again?
The absence of turn signals is especially annoying, when driving around.
I hope you can help me, it would be very much appreciated.
