TR4/4A HELP not able to get my TR4 started

Share this page

Doug, you might be onto something here with that "missing" wire. What Randall notes about the two yellow wires (one to generator and the other to warning light) also goes for the Herald and Triumph 10, both of which used virtually the same voltage regulator (control box). Hate to say it, but it sounds like you might just need to dig well into your bundle o' wires to see what sort of havoc a previous owner might have wreaked. :frown:
 
Yes, that very well could be the case but I hope it isn't. Although, I know the guy who had the car before me for almost 20 years, and he never had a charging problem with it. Of course it all started once i bought it. And the cutout flutters at 1000 to 2000 rpm. Everything just seemed fine and then it started acting up and got worse and worse. But I'm still going to investigate as much of the wiring as I can.

and a brown/yellow on the other side going to the "D" terminal of the control box (voltage regulator).

Oddly enough, the diagram you linked to shows that wire as yellow, instead of brown/yellow. It was solid yellow on the earlier cars, but the TR4 factory diagram I have does show brown/yellow.

Randall, I think that you didn't scroll down far enough to the TR4 diagram, as it does show brown/yellow on that, but yellow on the TR2/TR3.
 
Oops! Looks like you're right, Art. My bad.
