Ke70 Electrical Issues

[TOM97C]

Hey guys so i got my KE70 on the road now and have discovered a few faults

 

1. The parkers/dash lights fuse keeps blowing so i need to find the short in that part of the wiring. Are there any common faults to short for this part or anythings i should look for in particular?

 

2. I tried putting a 20amp fuse in a 15amp fuse slot (yes I'm a dickhead, i now know that) and fried some of the wiring in the rear loom section, ive attempted to redo this however have done the fuel gauge section wrong. Has anyone got detailed photos or a wiring diagram on how the connector block to the fuel sender (under that plastic black cover) connects to the rest of the loom? ie. what colours go where and if any are spliced under the coatings?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

The car is a 1981 4 speed 4k.

 

Cheers guys

They have common problems in the indicator stalk. There is factory bend in the wiring that will end up shorting out, not sure if that's your problem but worth looking at.

Search through my content and you will find a topic about the KE70 wiring diagram. In there you will find a link to a large-scale copy someone nicely hosted for us.

 

If I attach it here it will get reduced in size.
