  1. This morning when I tried to start my 1974 tii, the key would only go to 'Accessories' and no amount of jiggling would move it to 'Start'. Not sure what could cause this. Do I need to replace the lock cylinder? Perhaps lubrication (graphite? silicone?) It looks like this is common problem. @mike self you mentioned you have an article on how to fix could you send it to me?
  2. Thanks, yes, the stereo has an in-line fuse so this should work fine. I think I tap into the red/white wire on the hazard switch to avoid having to disassemble more and keep all the connection in the same place.
  3. Thanks for the help on switched power I realize I also need a UNSWITCHED power source for the stereo. Is there a good place to tap under the dash?
  4. Here's what mine looks like. I do see or feel the connector following the wiring harness. Notice that one my violet white wires have been cut. Is that an option? It done appear to have power. Does the hazard switch need to be connected?
  5. I'm installing a headless amplifier/radio/Bluetooth unit in my 1974 2002tii. Where (under the dash) would be a good place to tap for switched power. Barring that, what about just power?
  6. I tried to replace all (9) the dash indicator lights. Perhaps it was the alternator bulb that was causing the issue. I may try again when I have my gauge cluster out again I had only replaced the 21w brake and backup bulbs. I had not yet replaced the read parking lights.
  7. Looking for some insight/pointers: When I move the turn lever up or down, there is a continuous buzzing coming from the flasher relay (I think), and the bulbs don't light. When I push the Hazard button, there is clicking and all 4 bulbs light up. Could it be a bad flasher relay - I thought I recalled hazards have their own? Any input would but appreciated.
  8. I bought a set of 13 steel rims that purportedly came off 1972 2002. Three of the rims are 15 cm wide while the fourth is 16 cm wide. What's the correct width for a 2002tii? Any idea what the 16cm rim is for?

  17. Does a shop or vendor have to add themselves to the list or can a member add a vendor that they are aware of or has worked with recently?
  18. I want to verify: Is the "wood grain" gauge cluster standard on '74 tii? My car currently has black and I'm considering replacing it. BTW, do you need to removed the dashboard to replace the gauge cluster?
  19. Good points. I'll see if there are radiator service tags. I did buy the car in California, and was able to trace it back to 1997 through CA Smog records. According to the seller it's a "one family" car originally purchased in New Jersey and brought to CA. I was able to trace the seller's residence addresses back to New Jersey so the part of the story holds. Unfortunately, my request to the New York and New Jersey DMVs for registration records came up empty.
  20. Thanks Son of Marty. It just took more forceful persuasion to get the lightbulb disconnected. Bonus: once disassembled, I cold see a repair label from a speedo shop in San Francisco with the the date, 11-6-87. This pushed back my records of the car in California another 10 years.
  21. I'm removing my tii clock. There are three wires: two spade connections and another white wire in a copper "barrel". How do I disconnect the non-spade wire? It doesn't rotate and when I tug on the wire it seems to be "spring-loaded". I've search the faq but was able to find a topic that cover this specifically. Thanks
  22. I got a new windshield washer pump and and rebuild kit for my steering box.
  23. Thanks for the responses. I've acquired an 8 prong switch and will install/test once I get my battery back in the car (currently install euro front bumpers on my '74 tii)
