Title: Help with 68 charger wiring needed
Post by: Jimmy01 on August 27, 2018, 05:15:29 PM
Hi, from Australia and need a hand / advice with some wiring. - Headlights recently started dimming / going bright / dimming / going off / bright / dimming while I was driving - didn't check anything out for a couple of weeks as I (usually) never drive it at night and was to busy to get near it. - Then the indicators stopped worked (no indicator lights on dash or the actual indicators) working when I go to signal left or right.
-Any help on where to start looking would be much appreciated - also, is there anywhere on here where I can find a full wiring schematic for a 68 charger??
Thankyou!! :2thumbs:

Hello there Mate!  Start checking all your grounds, bulkhead connections and voltage while running.  Alternator or voltage regulator may be dying.  I bet if you google search you'll find a wiring diagram.
Good luck, Bob

Yep, but maybe only for another week or so.  I've just lost the passion for it at 70......

The bulkhead connectors are a good place to start looking for the dimming headlights but the turn signal problem might be the switch in the steering column.

Anyhow, here's a source for wiring schematics:
