Triumph Repair: 1976 TR6 Dash Board Lighting and Fuel Gauge, fuel gauge, fuse box


Question
ok, i recently took off my dash board to re finish it, before i had taken it off
everthing worked fine, except the horn, but anyway i took it apart, and i have
now put it back togther according to the wiring Diagram, everything seems to
work, except the lights, but the head lights work fine, its just the blinkers. i dont
know what is wrong with the dimmer, but i worked, and now it doesent. i dont
know if that was my fault or what, what should i do about that. Ok next, the fuel
gauge isnt working, i think it is the sending unit, but how can i make sure? and
last bu tnot least, my blinkers dont work, the light on the speedomiter dosent
even work, what could be wrong, and the last one i forgot about....
sorry.....where does the Horn Reley go?

Answer
alex, the horn relay is to the left of the fuse box ( under the hood ). there are 2 silver gizmos it should be the one on the bottom. look for a bunch of purple wires going to it. on the fuel gage disconnect the wire ( green/black ) and run a wire from rhe POS post on the battery to it. this should make the gage jump to full. if it does then you know the gage it self is good. as far as the other i can't tell that kind of thing without looking at it. just go over the wires again and look at the ground to make sure it is connected. i could go into it more but would take a lot of time. dave
