1976 RA28 CELICA GTV, WIRING

[RA28GT]

I have recently just got my Celica GTV on the road for the summer, everything was fine until coming home from work, the fuel gauge, temperature gauge, heater, rev counter stopped working & as it is a japanese import, it has a chime that comes on, when you go over 60 MPH. it has also stopped working! I have checked all fuses & they are fine... Has anybody else came across this on there celica? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks

i had problems with the wiring & it turned out to be a bad earth behind the dash, time to get the meter out or autoelectrician, still cant get the timeclock to work constantly though

I will take a look at that tonite, electrics wouldnt be my strong point, but if I check it with a multimeter I shouldnt go wrong! Thanks for your help !

Bad earth or maybe a loose or corroded wiring connector block, like the ones that plug into the back of the dash.

the same thing happened to my ra 23 this week. it turned out to be a loose conection at the back of the fuse box

Thanks for all the input, I will be checking it this evening & will
keep you posted on my progress!

thought so glad its ok now, was the block all green with corosion, clean & wd40 is the cure, looking forward to seeing your celica in the flesh, there was a flaghtlight celica for sale recently on a k plate very clean at 7k stg cheap enough imo.

It was indeed, the old wd40, is some stuff! Really looking forward to mosney, just hope & pray for good weather! That flatlight wasnt bad at that money at all !
