Hi,
My E12 looks brand new: 4 new tires, rusted metal replaced,
fresh paint, and new decals. The only problem...it doesn't run! In
the process of restoring my E12, I had all the motors tuned up
professionally, and I cleaned all the connections. Now after having
reassmebled everything, only the lift motor is working. I am pretty
confident that all the wiring is back together correctly, as I cleaned
each connection one at a time to be certain everything went back where
it belongs, and I followed the wiring diagrams in the manual. My
questions are as follows:
1) When I engage the power disconnect, the 30A fuse blows. I am
using a standard 30A 32V fuse from the automotive store. Is this the
problem? Should I be using a 30A slow blow fuse? Does the voltage
need to be at least 36V? Where do I get the correct fuse?
2) Any suggestions on how to proceed with diagnosing why nothing
else works? I'm working on the lights first, and I think I'm on my way
to solving that problem. How do I proceed on the rest? I'm not sure
where to start given that NOTHING else works except the lift motor.
Oh, I should say that the batteries are brand new (T-105), and
each is putting out 6V according to my volt meter. Also, the
lightbulbs are all brand new, as are all the dash instruments. I
didn't replace any of the relays, but I did go over all the wiring and
replaced any wires that were frayed. Suggestions?
Thanks!
Paul
