Coulstock Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi everyone, I have 2 questions today i hope you can help with; 1/ I have wired up my new loom and everything is working except the offside indicators, The nearside is fine but the offside nothing not even the dash light.I have checked the bulbs and they all seem fine and ive tried the old and a new flasher relay. Any ideas? 2/ My gearbox has been rebuilt and the overdrive switches on the top gearbox cover have been fitted so that the electrical spades are facing away from each other causing the loom to be stretched. Can i take a fibre washer out therefore giving me a little more turn on the switch to ease the wiring or are the amount of washers critical, there are two washers on one switch and one on the other. I hope this makes sense, Many Thanks Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi Nick, if the switches are working then I would not play with them. You could make some short leads to go from the loom to the switches. Make sure the loom is not tight anywhere as the GB moves when in use. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'd check the indicator earth and make extensions for the OD loom wiring. Most OD problems are electrical and stretched wiring only adds to the potential electrical problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 It's not hard to make up the extensions - you only need male and female spades . The wiring colour doesn't matter for short pieces. If you crimp the spades I'd solder them afterwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coulstock Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Thank you both, seems the obvious thing to do now youv'e said to extend the wires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Indicators. Some time ago replacement side repeaters on the front wings were constructed with the wires reversed so that the black needs to be live and the coloured (green white?) earthed. I dismantled mine and reversed the wiring such that black wire was correctly the earth wire. It is easy just to reach down and pull the two wires from the connectors before you try anything too complicated. If you have an incorrectly wired repeater then disconnection will allow the front and rear to flash. If they start to work just reconnect the wires reversed.
