SoCal SACC Tech Sessions have seen several Topics on C-1 Electrical Repair.  Most of these sessions were narrated be member Larry Pearson, #5c. Larry has encountered alternative techniques to solve Electrical Connector problems as well as other electrical problems encountered  during problems on your C-1. 

Many occasions occur when operating and driving your C-1, mostly lights that don't work, signal lights don't operate all the time and other intermittent failures.  Below are Buttons directing you to review some of these problems.  Just click on the Button and you can review each subject.

One problem that appears to be common with the C-1 electrical system is "grounding" for lights, radio's, heaters, etc..  A "ground" is required for any electrical system component to operate.  Each component in the electrical system (the simplest being a light bulb) is supplied with a voltage ( positive battery 12V in most cases) to operate and that component must have a return method to provide a complete path (circuit) back to the negative battery post in order to function.  This return path is a metal item and can be the car body (for all metal car bodies), the car frame or a return wire.  The return path which is common for C-1's is a simple wire back to the engine (negative battery is connected to the engine) or the cars metal frame.  A bad ground (loose screw, rust, dirt, etc.) can remove this return path or the connection can be intermittent causing intermittent operation (no lights, dim lights, etc.).
