Attempted repair of radiator leaked...leaked, probably could try again and allow to cure for longer, but a replacement reservoir is less than $8, so replaced that and replaced the tubing to radiator and topped off radiator and reservoir. I'm assuming that there is no need for the overflow to go back to the radiator. Ok, all fine. Idling and temperature reading about 190F (not sure where the sensor is or how accurate). Next on the list are the brake lights. I notice Fuse #1 appears burnt so I replace that and turn on the lights and something pops (fuse?) and Fuse #1 is clearly burnt. Also, engine will not start. Purchase a battery recharger and recharge battery overnight. I tape off all loose ends near the brake lights in the engine compartment. One set shorting appear to be the culprit. Engine starts and idles. Pull the bus back into the carport. The radiator fan is not working, neither is temperature gauge or tachometer.
Engine starting.
Coolant system working.
Fuse #1 not immediately blowing (haven't tried lights yet).
Radiator fan not working.
Temp gauge not working.
Tachometer not working.
Attempting to track down the electrical starting with radiator fan.
Printing off schematic from The Samba to carry with me.
Will turning the headlights on blow the fuse?
Is the light switch related to the functioning of the fan/gauges?
