Spitfire Turn signal wiring Spitfire

[Richardspur]

1974 Spitfire lefthand drive. Trying to figure out wiring for the turn signals. Colors are faded, can someone post a picture of the wires coming down the steering column and plugging into the correct wires below the dash. I have some female ends that have a place for two wires to plug in and just can't get it figured out. Thanks.

Sorry, no picture, but green w/red is for the Left flashers, and green w/white for the Right flashers. Colors should match up at the under-dash connectors.

Yes, the colors should match, but on my recent (two o three years ago - or more) puchase the colors are different. The green white seemd correct, but the cooors of the remaining wires were confusing. I had to use a test light to determine the proper connections. I checked the Haynes diagram and it shows a different color for later cars.

T. T.

T.T.: That seems odd (except for the fact that the reference is from Haynes, not always known for absolute clarity and accuracy! ). All wiring diagrams I've looked at, including several very nice ones found at Triumphspitfire.com, show the colors as I noted above. The only other color that comes to play for the flasher circuit is a light green w/brown.

I thihk rather than the diagram, it was the red and brown on the sire looked too much the same - hard to distinguish. Once I determined which was the power lead all worked.
