Help with 68' Westy....instrument panel removal
I have a 68' Westy with an odd electrical problem. With the headlights
off the signals, both left and right, work and the dash indicators work. With the headlights on, the right signal works and the dash indicators work. The left signal works outside, but the dash indicators work about every second or third flash. Although it does not appear to be a loose connection, I would like to verify all the connections under the instrument panel. I removed the four screws holding the panel in, but don't know how to undo the heat and fresh air controls so I can tip the panel out. Question 1. Ever heard of the problem with the dash signal indicators? Question 2. How do I undo the heat and fresh air controls so I can easily get to the control panel wiring? Thanks |

You have to push the pins out to release the knob. -- Speedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ |

Remove the "nyloc" nuts securing the axis of the levers - remembering how all the nylon and steel apacers go. Remove the speedo cable Remove the Steeing wheel (optional) Grahame from Aus |
