pfenlon Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) 2 things are adrift, No water temp or fuel gauge movement. wiper motor becoming warm and not working. cables cannot be incorrect on the Voltage stabiliser, so I think it may be duff, but is there a test procedure for it? I suspect I have the top 2 cables on the switch in the wrong order, hard to determine via switch and drawing comparison, has anyone a pic of the rear of the switch please. Bloody cold out there today! Edited December 16, 2017 by pfenlon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Jones Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Casing of the voltage stabiliser needs to be earthed for it to work. Normally earths via contact with the back of the speedo casing which should be earthed. If it was earthed at the time of the test then the first thing to check is that you have 12v on the supply side when the ignition is on. If not, the wiper problem may have popped the fuse - think they are on the same fuse (they are on most Triumphs of that era) Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 This could be a pointless post.. Do you have this service manual page? I found it very helpful when creating a switch and wiper wiring loom for a TR6 wiper motor being fitted in an air portable Land Rover (why?... you may well ask) TR6 wiper motor and wiring.pdf Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john.r.davies Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Test procedure for stabiliser: Connect 'B' to battery and earth the body. Multimeter across terminal 'I' and earth. Despite the name of the unit, you should see a regular switch from 12 to Zero volts and back again. This averages 10V, whatever the state of the charging system, and the very damped gauges don't notice the cycling. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
