Hi all,
I’m hoping someone on here may be able to assist me with a wiring problem I’ve currently got.
Long story short, I have set of indicator & light/washer switchgear which is not from the original car (year/model unknown), as well as a set which is from the original car (1971 US import). They both have different style connectors on.
The light/washer switchgear was damaged but I managed to swap out the broken bits with the good bits from the spare set which means they now work and can plug back in to the loom using the correct connectors. I also rebuilt this and know all the connection work properly.
The indicator switchgear that came in the car seems to have some parts missing and was damaged, however the spare one that I have looks almost exactly the same (with the addition of a little push button on the end of the stalk).
From trawling wiring diagrams online, I think I have found the connector block in the loom which the indicators need to be wired into and it has 5 wires coloured, GB, GB, GR, GR and GY. I’ve shown this on my diagram (attached).
My question is, assuming that this is correct, which wires from the indicator stalk need to be connected to each of the GB, GB, GR, GR, GY wires in this connector?
In my diagram, the wires have the following colours:
A – Green
B – White, Black
C – White, Red
D – Black (looks to be connected to the push button on the end of the stalk which is not present on the other indicator)
E – Red, Black
F – Red, Yellow
G – Red White
H – White
E, F and G all fit into a connector in the loom.
B,C and D all terminate at a connector which doesn’t fit my loom (or at least is missing, some of the wires on the original indicator stalk had been cut).
Basically I don’t know what to connect A, B, C, D, or H up to and I can’t figure it out from any wiring diagrams.
At present, the head and tail lights work (mostly, one headlight seems to be dim) and the wipers/washers work.
If I click the hazard lights on then the indicators do flash I know that the wiring/bulbs are OK.
Any guidance on where I’m going wrong, how to get these indicators working, or even where I could find a diagram which might help me out, would be much appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this!
