Weird electronic problem

[Monshall]

Hi kind people,   I have a weird fault on my 1979 K.  When you turn the steering full lock everything cuts out and goes dead.  I have jiggled every wire going to the front, checked connections, etc.  Problem is it sometimes does not do this, like when I take it to the auto electrician, lol. Also there don't seem to be any rubbed wires or wires pulled tight.  Only thing I can think of is to take the headlight apart and check all those connections. Any ideas??

I had the same problem and it drove me nuts. My issue was the multi-wire conector on the wiring harness. When you turn the handle a certain direction, it pulled it enough to lose the connection. Good luck and let us know what you find.

Thanks Tail, will do, here I go, rolling up my sleeves taking the tank off and having a good look.

That's where mine was, under the tank.
