First thing I=E2=80=99d check is for rodent damage to the wiring under the =
car.  Seen this happen a lot, squirrels (and there are plenty in NC) seem t=

Listers,

 

I drove my 66 BJ8 Saturday and Sunday, everything was normal.  Glorious wea=
ther in the North Carolina mountains.  Monday everything became strange.  

 

I put the key in the ignition and started the car in the normal manner.  I =
then realized that many things were not working.  The car started normally,=
 the ignition light came on and went off as it should, overdrive works, hea=
dlights work, high beam light works, the alternator is charging the battery=
 properly and the fuses are not blown.  

 

These are the things that I know are not working: gas gauge, turn signals, =
tach, wipers, brake lights and front parking lights (the rear are working).=


 

I have looked at the wiring diagram and I am at a loss.  Where do I start l=
ooking for this problem?

 

Help,

 

Fred

66 BJ8
