I have been putting this day off for 10 years but now am forced to confront. When I purchased my car I knew the car had been rewired at some point in its life. The headlights have stopped working so I need to trace the problem. I can hear the relay clicking but no lights. After removing the dasboard it appears that the existing wiring was modified to accommodate the insertion of numerous relays. Starting off I had a number of questions:
1. Is there a wiring diagram for the S2 Vixen? Lacking that do the wire colors match the standard British car colors?
2. Being a novice to electrical issues any idea why so many relays? I can only think of the normal ones; horn, headlights.
3. As a side bar, does anyone have a photo of their dash inards? I was curious how the steering column is supported. On my car it is supported by a bracket on the rear of the dash and attached by a radiator clamp.
Thanks,
Gary
