Frustrating day, finished off the main wiring for the battery, didn't like how the fuel pipe was squeezed up against the chassis on a bend so took it off & got a bit of slack then wrapped both pipes in protection & put it back together. As I'd put the battery on thought I'd go through the electrics as I wasn't sure if the fuel sender was working, however before I got to that I thought I'd check the rest of the lights etc. Brake lights now work after rerouting the wiring so they were long enough, there's no fog light fitted yet, but I have 12V at the right point.
Then tried the indicators, Nope, not working, Hazards the same, eventually found if I put 12V onto each side repeater the lights would work, so started tracing back & it turned out to be the dodgy hazard switch, along with a blown fuse, along with a brand new connector (not fitted by me) that the wires pulled straight out of the crimp, but eventually they are all working & new connectors ordered, they will be soldered as well as crimped.
Then onto the blue headlight telltale in the dash, if I pull the wiring & give the dash 12V on the printed circuit board the light comes on, but not with the stalk, so started to unwrap more wiring, found where the wire from the dash joins the wires to the headlights but still not getting a reading. Stripped all the wrapping on the wires to the OS headlight as they were jointed halfway there, in the end I gave up for tonight as I was starting to make mistakes & getting confused over the colours, it doesn't help that the wire starts as Green, then becomes Blue, then terminates on the bulb as a White, when the wire that starts as White on the car becomes a Red & the Red on the car becomes a Black, or something like that.
Then the other weird thing they have done is take all the earths from all the connectors in the car & extended them to the front of the car, why not simple terminate them all in the wiring tray & them if you feel the need strap that to the chassis, although it actually bolts to the chassis anyway, so that needs addressing.
The only other one that I know isn't working & not sure if it did before is the ignition warning light, then there are the reversing lights, but I don't know if they ever worked.
Sorry for the Rant, but I do feel a little better for it.
