What about tightening the rivets back up by using a hammer and punch? I've done that with loose rivets on other applications but I haven't tried it on the fuse box. It's just that you'd need to find

Too right! I had this problem last summer and jumped the wires together in order to get the turn signals working until the replacement switch came in. Cheers, CR

I'm thinking the problem might be due more to corrosion in the "gap" between the rivet and the terminal, so just tightening them up might be less effective than the soldering method. Of course tight

The usual cause of a dimly glowing light, particularly if it increases as you increase the electrical load, is bad diodes in the alt. However bad connections between the alt and the rest of the elect

Sounds like some other part of the green circuit is shorting out, which would have dragged the instruments down. Try wiring a high-wattage 12v lamp in place of the green fuse, that way when you are f

*If* your lack of instruments, turn signals and fuel pump are connected, so to speak, then you should look for a bad connector in the white circuit. You may find that three whites come off the igniti

I think what is happening here is that you have a bad connection in the supply, such that when you use flashers or back-up lights the additional current tips the balance. Unless you have a problem in
