JimM Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I'm trying to get to grips with the wiring in my 1500 with a view to modifying it for electric fan, lighting relays, different overdrive switch etc Looking at the diagram in my Haynes manual has thrown up a couple of questions though. Any help appreciated1. What do the small circles divided into black and white halves/quarters designate ?2. The dip beam lights do not appear to be fused, is this the case ?ThanksJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 1. I think they just represent connectors, although I realise there are other symbols as well.2. YesBe aware there are some errors in some of the Haynes wiring diagrams!Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Just looked at your copy of the diagram, must be later than mine the errors are fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire1500 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Talking of electricity, I'm still baffled by my blinking side light. Yes - you saw that right - my left side light blinks with my indicator when the left indicator is operated or when my hazards are operated. The side lights still operate as normal...the only other discrepancy is the 'beam' light on my speedometer only seems to come on if I flick the light stalk towards me.Can anyone shed any light on my blinking side light?Thanks,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This assumes you have steel quarter valances, if these are fibreglass then a ground wire may not been properly fitted.Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 yeap exactly i seem to remember you have fibreglass valences, you need to run an earth wire from one of the screws on the light to an earth point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire1500 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Cheers for the help Rarebits and Mattius!I recall half of my light panel being rusty - the half that incidently has my side light bulb on it, so perhaps I should replace this part of my light and run a earth - I don't think I have a earth cable so perhaps it's come off or something!Thanks again,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
