TheBeastie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I am working off a rather too faded wiring diagram and wonder if someone can confirm these colours. The plan is to rewire the supplementary lighting since I am getting fed iup with its unreliability, particularly having invested in upgrading most of the lights to LED. I did the headlights and was very pleased with the results. Anyway what I have gleaned from the diagram is Rear fog light Red / Yellow Reversing light Green / Brown LH rear indicator Green / Red LH rear side light Red / Black LH rear stop light Green / Purple RH rear indicator Green / White RH rear side light Red / Orange RH rear stop light Green / Purple Rear number plate Red / Black LH side repeater Green / Red RH side repeater Green / White LH front indicator Green / Red LH front side light Red / Black RH front indicator Green / White RH front side light Red / Orange Earth Black Does this make sense or are my eyes tricking me (the difference between a P and an R is quite tricky!) Any tips too would be useful. I was planning to make up my own sort of harness using 16.5 amp cable (to get the colour ranges) and spiral wrap, then run it along the chassis using I think they are called S clips to hold in place - probably with the off big cable tie for good measure. Thanks and best wishes Malcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeastie Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks for quick reply. Had not thought of trailer cable which sounds quite handy, but had also been thinking of running separate earths back to the battery since most of the problems I have had come back to a duff earth somewhere. I bought a big reel of black cable with that specific intention. Hoping it is not too massive a job and suspect biggest problem will be working out the lengths and routes. Stage one will be to take it all back to the fuseboard; stage two (if ever) will be to go from the fuseboard to the relevant switches etc). Stage two might not happen unless it turns out that that is where the problem lies!! Best wishes Malcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul butfustet Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello this has really helped me. I had the rear x member done. The wiring was ripped out and I am putting the lights back all new. Only problem is the hazard and indicators. Dead. I hot wired the relay and all working. Can anyone please tell me how to step by step elimination to arrive at the fault. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
