G'day All,
First post on CII. I've tried a few quick searches but can not find anything specific to my problem. The car is a Holden Rodeo which is what the Isuzu TF was sold as in Australia. I've just got this car from my father-in-law and it needed some TLC after being in storage for a year. The registration has expired which means we have to fix all of the mechanical problems prior to getting it re-registered again. Luckily this isn't my only car but this car will be used for spotlighting out on the farm.
A have a few various electrical problems.
1) When the headlight on button is depressed, nothing happens however when the highbeam is pulled (using the indicator stalk) the headlights come on. I have a feeling this is an earthing problem but do not even know where to start in terms of winding the earth cable and securing it to the correct position.
2) Blower for the demister/defogger doesn't work when engaged by the controls. Will work when I attach a 12v battery directly to the blower. Reads -0.6v through the cables that lead to the mechanism. I have a feeling this is a fuse issue or may be because of excessive dust that is preventing proper connection in the back of the mechanism.
Appreciate any guidance with these issues and an electrical schematic for this vehicle if anyone has one.
Rodney.
