    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I took off my headlight to paint it and decided the gauge could use paint as well. I took off the front indicator lights to later be replaced. I hooked all the wires back to toghther what I beleive is the correct way, there is only 4 or 5 plugs. When hooked back up the instrument cluster doesn't show what gear it's in,and the horn doesn't work! I figured the signal lights not being hooked up was the reason to I hooked them up only to find they didnt work either. Checked the fuse and of course it was blown.

Question: would the signal lights not being hooked up affect the operation o the instrument cluster? The horn?
 
I believe those are all on the same circuit. Have you looked over your wiring diagram to verify it though?
 
I would assume that you inadvertently blue the fuse while you were working on it. I would check all the wiring to make sure there isn't any hot wires exposed to short out. This old insulation can crack and flake off exposing wire if it has gotten overheated. As to your specific question, the turn signals not being hooked up would not affect anything. The fuse that was blown may feed everything that was not working and it just seemed that they were the culprit.
