I'm looking for a printable/ legible version of a wiring diagram for a 71 TR6. My Hanes manual only has one for a 68 (not much use to me right now).
We're on a Lucas gremlin hunt in my brothers (banjosbro) new aquisition so he can get it on the road.
I've done a search already and diden't come up with much.
Thanks in advance for any help
 
Thanks. That's close but that's the same one that's in the Hanes manual. One of the main visual clues to a proper 71 diagram will be the use of a horn relay instead of a direct wired horn. and all the wire colors are different (that's a little harder to pick out)
Keep trying.....please /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Ben,
I would strongly recommend that you purchase Dan Masters'
spiral bound book on TR6 electricals. That website is Dan's but the diagrams are not as good as the ones in the book. Dan can be reached at danmas@aol.com. He is on this forum as well. Maybe he could respond if you ping him.

One of these days I might just understand these things. The wiring diagrams in Bentley do not show a horn relay for the '69, 70 or 71 years. The relay does not show up in their drawings until the '72 model year and then continues to the end. The original works manual I have (p/n AKM 3529) only shows what appears to be the '72, 73 & 74 version, with a relay. This is sorta like 'when did the bumpers really get raised and the emblem move ???'

Have you tried https://www.slash5.com/? He lists six different diagrams for the TR6. One for the 70 & 71 models and then one for each of the remaining years. He sells them and does not give any sneak peeks on his website. I am sure if asked he could/would provide additional information????

Can't hurt. . .

Banjo,

I'm puzzled by your comments. The diagram that you were refered to does indeed show a horn relay. The only time a '71 TR6 didn't use a horn relay was if it was equiped with an early "A" type overdrive, in which case the space for the horn relay was given over to the OD relay. This is covered in detail in my manual referenced above.

Wire colors not right? Unless I made an error in transcribing the diagrams, the colors are correct. This diagram was verified by hand over hand tracing of the wiring in my own and other's '71. The colors on my car matched the colors in all the diagrams I've seen.

I haven't seen the TR6 diagrams from Slash5, but I'd be willing to make a small wager that they are not correct for the '73 and '76 models. Why do I say that? Because EVERY single official diagram from Triumph, including those in the owner's manuals, and those in Haynes and Bentley are wrong. Unless the folks at Slash5 did a hand over hand walkdown of those two models, as I did, their diagrams will be wrong also.

I'm not knocking Slash5, as I haven't seen their diagrams to know how well they're done, but I do have complete confidence in mine.

One of the advantages of my diagrams over Slash5 is the price - mine are free.
 
I'm sorry I diden't mean to knock anyones hard work and effort. That is a very nice diagram (I believe we are talking of the advanceautowire schematic)I plan to save that as a future refrence.
My specific problem occours in the horn circuit. I've already fixed my brothers car, but in trying to use my daigram I found it all wrong for that perticular circuit. So I began to wonder about the accuracy of the rest of the diagram.
Here's how his car is set up;
starting at the fuse box, a purple wire runs to the relay and plugs into the controlled side then sends a jumper to the lead for the contorlling side.
Then there is a purple and black wire that goes from the controller side of the relay to the horn button and then that is grounded through the steering column
and a purple and yellow wire that runs from the controlled side of the relay down to the horns, and then the horns are perminantly grounded.
The diagram online only shows a direct power feed to the horns (solid purple wire) and a button in line on the ground side (purple and black wire)
Thats the only descrepency I know of. Again I diden't mean to imply that the whole thing was wrong. sorry
 
I'm a total idiot!
I'm soooo sorry. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
I never saw that there is more diagrams if you scroll down. That's an awsome page.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I bow to your awsomeness. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
