Hi all,
I have a '71 510. Four door, RHD. With the ignition on all indicators work normally. When I turn on the headlights, the fender indicators partially illuminate. I also noted the speedo cable at the rear of the instrument cluster gets warm. Headlights switch between parkers, Low and High beam normally. Also the temperature gauge is now erratic when the engine is running. All fuses are intact. Fuse box has been in a vinegar bath. All harness connectors were cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and a toothbrush. Has anyone experienced this problem. Its got me stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Shaun.
