Gday guys, I recently got my tacho repaired, hooked it up to the coil -ve, reconnected the battery and then the car would not start. There was absolutely no ignition at all, but the lights, radio, gauges etc were all fine. The battery is fine also. I checked the fuses and the 3A fuse for the instrument lamps appeared at first to be blown. I replaced the fuse and the car started and has been running well for the last couple of months.
I have just replaced the tacho wire that runs to the coil -ve as the wire I used initially was an old piece of crap that was lying around in my garage. The car will not start again, the symptoms are exactly the same as previous. I checked the 3A fuse and the fuse is OK but there is no power running through the circuit that the 3A fuse is on (instrument lamps). Can anyone shed any light on what may be happening? Maybe there is some loose connection in the bulkhead or fuse box and just wiggling it around is stuffing this circuit?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Piers
