hazard,int. light,door bell have anything in common?

Post by whiterabbit »

I made a cardinal sin. I messed with the center/upper console. :roll: Now they don't work. I have turn signals and the cigar lighter works but the other stuff is out. I had to pull the console to get the fan switch and cap installed. It's an 81 FI. Checked the hazard connection like 10 times, it's on there good. Checked the white and red inline fuses near the main fuse box.So now what??? :(
Thanks all.

You know, if you pull the glove box out, the little bell is right there in front and so is it's connector. You can just pull the connector to it and then blame those pesky Fiat electrical gremlins and your dear wife may never know. :wink:

A lot of us have done away with the "Tinkle Bell" and used the power wire off the ignition switch going to it to power the radio. Put the key in and you can listen to tunes without turning on the other electronics running through the ignitition switch. I couldn't stand the bell either.

I have a freak'n brilliant idea. A toggle switch on "Tinkle Bell". On when she's driving and off when I have the car 8) ! I might have to at least tap into the hot line to it for the radio power idea. Didn't think of that. I'm running off the factory radio hot wire right now.
Thanks all! :D
