Technical Help - Dash lights upon start-up dim / not working, no power to coil

[VinnyL]

Need your help community!

I'm trying to bring my 1981 Fiat 124 Spider Turbo back to life. I've been troubleshooting a no start issue for a few days and suddenly I developed an electrical issue.

Upon turning the key, my seatbelt and exhaust sensor lights on the dash are dim, barely visible. I get no oil light and my fuel gauge no longer works. I also get no voltage to the coil! I checked all the fuses, relays and ground hubs, nothing has solved my issue. For a few days this was all working fine. Then suddenly this happened. At first I though my battery died, charged it back up, been having thos problem ever since.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

If your happy with the condition of the battery…then your attention should focus on the Ignition switch and wires/connections going to the ignition switch, they can be problematic.

Turns it it was a bad ignition switch! Hope this helps someone one day!
