AarhusTr6 Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Hi all I cannot quite understand what the brown wire is for on my light switch lever because my car is a 1970 Tr6 and from my guess it’s for pass to flash which is only on the TR5? Also it is not shown on the wiring diagram either (brown wire) Secondly, I’m quite unsure how it actually works… Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Yes for the flash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobH Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 It is shown on the wiring diagram but the wire is shown as purple rather than brown. Purple is battery live and the contact connects this direct to to the blue/white wire which is high beam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaelfinnis Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hi, the wiring diagram in the original triumph workshop manual shows the wire colour for the headlight flash as purple (P)p to a bullet connector, then brown (N) from there to the switch, as shown below.

Mike. Which is what confuses a lot of people when wiring up light switches as theyre looking for another brown. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
