Fitting HZ GTS Dash to WB Ute... Help Needed..

[buck]

I know after pulling the dash out of mine and replacing the lights behind the taco ,warning lights , blinker arm, heater fan fuse wiring,ignition it is best to coat all the contact with a product like corrode cure or inox as all the contacts on mine had 31 years of dust and slight corrosion, otherwise you will be chasing stray earths everywhere, a multimeter is a must you can pick one up from supercheap for about $15.00 they work just aswell as the expensive ones espiecally only 12 volts, i have traced shocking earths in the heater fan and in the dashboard and moved the earths to more positive connections like the body with paint removed.
Hope this helps, only i know what you going through, it took me a whole day to find the broken wire in the loom for the heater.

Cool, thanks for the help mate.. You wouldn't have any pics of you dash when it was out by chance?? I was thinking that there may be some other earth that I have missed.. Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow arvo cause I have a free period at school last, so might sign out and come home and have a go at trying to fix it..

Its a pain in the arse isn't it.. lol I hate wiring, there is soooo much that can go wrong and it can happen when and where ever it like.. hahaha
