Hey guys, I am new to this site, but I am excited to be a part of the forum! I have a '77 bay window bus... My horn, windshield, and headlights were all working fine last week, but they just stopped working on me. Also, my turn signals will not flick back after a turn... I think that maybe the steering wheel came loose, but I can't seem to figure out how to tighten it. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks -Josh |

Welcome,
Have you removed and looked at each fuse?
Does anything change if you wiggle the ignition switch or turn the key slightly one way or the other?, wipers and headlights are powered through a separate circuit on the ignition switch that sometimes goes bad.
As for sliding the column switch back up so the horn works and the signals cancel read this: http://www.ratwell.com/technical/SteeringColumn.html _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here
Stop dead photo links! Post your photos to The Samba Gallery!
