So I just bought a 94' sport
On test drive, I noticed the heater/blinkers worked a little bit, then stopped working, dude knocked off a couple of hundred for that.
Got home, and noticed a purple or violet (partially color blind) wire that was sorta loose. I grabbed it, and it fell out from under the dash. At this point, the blinkers/blower and dash lights were not working, or even trying to work.
This morning, I went out and tried to find the home for Mr Purple wire. I found a plug up under the dash on top of the column that had at least 3 other similar gauge wires in it. One was red... There was an empty socket in there, so I jammed this wire in there. I tried the blinkers, and blower, they work now, great right?
Now with the key off, everything seems to work. Dash lights are not working, but that could be anything, not worried about that right now. Just want to be able to make sure my Battery isn't drained when I get up in the morning, this is sorta a DD until I can sell my over priced Audi.
I can get some low angle pics if this would help, but I don't know how clear they would be. Could this be an ignition switch issue, I have seen posts where nothing is working due to the switch, but not the other way around. Also the Buzzer box if missing so, that could indicate a ignition switch issue, I would think.
