This article is written to help identify the connections originating at the two-speed windscreen wiper switch where the colour-coded fabric of the wiring loom has faded beyond all possible identification.
The motor is a DR-3, two-speed unit. The switch is a seven terminal,three position (off...
I have a 1970 TR6 with a bad ammeter. While looking into repair/replacement of the old meter, I tried to temporarily bypass it so I could drive the car. Based on the amount of sparks, I still have current flowing through some of this wiring even with the ignition turned "OFF". Any hints on...
I've acquired a British Leyland (Mororola) radio for my '79 Midget. The car had a radio installed by the dealer when new but that was removed by the original owner long ago...classically, he hung a cassette tape deck below the glove box and put 4 speakers in the car...2 in the foot panels up...
Re: electrical short wiring damage
I’m writing to ask if others have had a wiring accident similar to mine and to ask how was the wiring harness evaluated and fixed.
My car is a 1960 Mk. I with an original, un-modified engine and wiring. My wiring accident occurred soon after a new Moss...
So, my car was stripped of its wiring harness and most of its electrical parts decades ago. I bought a new ignition switch from Moss. I see in the wiring diagram the terminals are labeled, but I don't see anything on the ignition switch. I've wired it according to the diagram, but all four wires...
I am in the process of changing my BJ8 from positive to negative ground. I have changed the fuel pump (electronic) and the points (Pertronix) and installed the new alternator. I will attack the Tach issue later. So my question is on the wiring of the alternator. I have the diagram that came with...
I have a TR8 that's so massively unreliable I don't dare drive it. Virtually every time I do, it dies somewhere, won't restart, and ends up being towed home. I'm trying to trace the path of current flow during starting and normal running, and I'm having some trouble visualizing what's going on...
hi everyone: classic wiring issue. I was "fixing" a few wiring issues behind the dash. naturally, after I was done, I created another problem.
The yellow blinker light on the instrument panel stays on all the time now. Until that is, I use a blinker... then it shuts off. doesn't matter if I...
I wrestled the original OEM TR8 starter out of my '80 TR8 project and have a Rover-spec replacement (like BP Northwest has listed at https://www.bpnorthwest.com/triumph/tr7-tr8/engine-electrical/starter-gear-reduction-new-rover-v-164.html.) The original starter has a unique setup for...
Good evening,
I finally got my dash back in place, harness hooked up, new battery, and was really looking forward to starting the car tonight.
Sadly, no joy...
The headlamps, tail lamps, turn signals, and hazard flashers all work. When I turn the key, the ignition light turns on and the fuel...
