280zwitha383 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Check you fusible links (next to the battery) and fuses. Does your door not open at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280zwitha383 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Sorry I didn't respond sooner. No you don't need to replace them, they should burn through the insulation (and wire) if they were shorted. You might inspect them closer and make sure the wire isn't shorted inside. If you want to be really sure you could check them with a multimeter (do a continuity test).

skipzoomie Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 When the dash lights quit in my 81 it was a melted connector under the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger.svoboda Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 brake lights are supposed to only come on when you brake. Are you confusing them with tail lights. check for power to the bulb then make sure your grounds are good. Driver door can be an adjustment in the door. Happened to me. You need to take off the door panel and observe the lock mechanism there is an adjusting screw to make sure the unlock works. If you can't get the door open you probably need to take out the driver seat to get at the door panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 For the dash light not working: Check the big white connector under the steering column. Disconnect the connector and look for burned up connector. I had this happenned to me before. Power window not working: Open up your door panel and check for power to the motor when you push the switch. If there is power at the motor then obviously your motor is dead. Let me know if you need one. I have a few of them laying around the garage. Speedo going crazy: you have oil in your speedometer cable. Replace the seal at the transmission end of the cable and replace the cable as well. Radio doesn't work: Get a new one. Your brake light works fine. Just your running light is not working. It is tied into the interior light system. Fix the #1 problem above and it should be OK. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
