RogerD Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I have a '74 Dt360A which was restored last year. Suddenly, the turn signals and tailight stopped working. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check continuity of the ground connections to the battery negative (the outer shell of the bulb holders?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted July 15, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 15, 2009 I have a '74 Dt360A which was restored last year. Suddenly, the turn signals and tailight stopped working. Any suggestions? Main fuse at the battery? When you say tail light are you including the brake light as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem since the restoration last year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stopped suddenly. Battery is new. Lighting coil works fine for the headlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted July 15, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 15, 2009 Is there a fuse in the battery line? There are very few fuses on the DT's but yes there should be a main battery fuse, they are generally part of the battery lead/connection. Its just that is the first place i would look, you have lost ALL of the battery fed items. I would bet the horn doesent work either. The only easy connection between all of these is the battery and its associated connections. Failing that you will be looking inside the headlight with a multimeter.

You are correct, the horn doesn't work either. It must be a faulty ground or fuse-link. The way the lights/horn stopped working so suddenly.....
