There's a chill in the air. Leaves have fallen and cover the ground.
College football dominates weekend television. That means that it's
time for me to ask again, as I do every year, what in the hell could
be wrong with the wiring on my diesel westy?

I don't think this is particularly a diesel westy question, so I am
posting it to this list.

For three or four years, my turn signal indicator on the dash does not
work. It is the only thing on my 1983 diesel westy that does not work.
The turn signals work but the dash indicator light does not blink. I
have to listen for the relay clicking to determine if my turn signals
are on. At the rate my hearing is deteriorating, I figure that I have
about a year to solve this problem.

 I have three instrument clusters that I have rotated through the car.
The TS indicator light does not work on any of them. I have tested the
LED in all of them and they all work fine (I have removed the LEDs and
have gotten them to illuminate). I have tested the resistors in the
circuitry of all of them all they all tested OK. My clock runs fast
about four minutes a day. When I start the car and the glow plugs are
being warmed, the second hand on the clock runs about double-speed.
All the grounds look good, and I have run an additional ground just in
case.

That's all the clues I have to offer. Anyone have any ideas? This is
about to turn obsessive!

Jim
