Again, more of an 'aide memoire' than any actual decent blog post. I've done most of the wiring loom, I just have four white/red power wires to join up together, and the same for four black ground wires. That gets rid of the spaghetti. Now the next part is to wire in the lights and dashboard.
There's a few blockers to that though. First off is that I seemed to have trimmed an entire lighting section out of the loom!! There should be a connector on the column multi switches that powers the lights, but now I've got to the end of this particular task I have no more connectors. I'll need to go back and see what I removed. It might be that I took each individual wire out in turn, then ended up with an empty connector that I stuffed in the 'spares' box. Once I find the connector I can wire it back in,
I also need to print out the fuse and relay positioning, again I seem to have quite a few empty holes and I want to make sure I've not unwired something important. I also need to check the relays are still in the right place, for example I know the indicator flasher is wired in but it's missing two of the wires. I need to energise the flasher with some power and then see what comes out. The flasher is listed as;
- Black Ground.
- No connection
- Orange hazard light switch to Black Ground.
- Green Black to left hand lights (front/side/back and tell tale)
- Green Red to direction switch on column
- Green Yellow to direction switch on column
- Green White to right hand lights (front/side/back and tell tale)
- Black Red to fuse block
For the lights and dashboard it's all new, so it'll just be lengths of wire of the appropriate colour.
Ah yes, colours... I seem to have some wires that were attached to the loom, and attached to the engine, but neither end is actually attached anymore! I need to find;
- White/Blue. Apparently this is labelled as battery negative.
- Green/Orange. This is most likely going to be the horn I think?
- White/Black. Off to the alternator for the battery?
