Hey all. I am due to negotiate Speedy Jims site later, but want to post this Q to get alternative ideas.
'74 std bug 1200 model.
Car driving along, flick indicator (direction seems irrelevant) and engine dies. Try to start, starter operates but no idiot light, so no start. Headlights still work. Mess about with wiring under dash, and lights come on. Engine then starts OK.
This doesn't happen every time I indicate, so assume I am grounding the coil
+ve somewhere. I have removed indicator switch last night, but visitors came, so ign switch tonight. I cannot see any wires touching under dash, but I guess the intermittence ( is that a real word ?) suggests a small nick or whatever.Any suggestions most welcome, but I do need to get this tonight as My Wife needs her car back tomorrow.
James
