Dads Toy Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I asked a local vehicle electrician if he could sell me some colour coded wire recently and he said "only if it's black - all modern cars only have black wires" no wonder they have trouble tracing faults! Either that or it's the same bloke who's done your electrics. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiring diagram for your specific car attached. A rear worklight was never standard, but since it is best wired to come on even with the ignition off, "purple and something" would be logical. Radio and clock were optional add-on extras and the radio had its own harness. The towing socket came as a kit (the LR kit used LR colours, modern kits use the colours of the seven-core cable), connected behind the cover in the offside back corner of the rear tub.

Happy hunting! TD wiring.pdf There's a fused permanent live on a purple wire behind that rear light cover - shown as "Pick-off point of auxiliary trailer" (no. 66) on your diagram. I used this to power my two rear worklamps. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Places like that don't deserve customers There was an Auto Electrician near to where I used to live who was known locally as 'the supercilious man', he was a Lucas Agent and sold lots of useful stuff, but getting him to actually sell it to you was hard work Sadly, he's no longer in business I use, and can recommend, any of these online suppliers for just about anything you need for a wiring project - http://www.polevolt.co.uk/ http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/ http://www.autosparks.co.uk/ http://www.simtekuk.co.uk/ http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/home/homepage.php http://www.easternbeaver.com/index.html or this eBay shop - http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Kojaycat-Vehicle-Wiring .
