gjc5500 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Just like the title says, i installed a stereo in my 73 240 and now there are no turn signals or gauges working. I had a stereo in the car before and just used the existing wiring. any advice would be appreciated, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjc5500 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 yea, no blown fuses. radio works along with the amp gauge. no tach, oil, fuel or temp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCZ Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 There is a connector underneath the steering column cover that can come loose and cut power to your gauges. This happened to me and I don't recall the wire color but it is a single bullet connector. When I took the cover off and re-seated the connector my gauges started working again.

gjc5500 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 so i found the problem, sorta. if i pick up the fuse block and turn it, i hear a click, and nothing works. after doing this a few times and setting it back where it belongs, everything started working again. I think its probably time for a painless kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
