Briarston Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hi all and seasons greetings! I normally frequent the Defender forum, but have recently acquired a 1965 S2a (not a lightweight) 12v. General Service 88" 2.25 petrol. The previous owner has carried out a lot of work on this (new chassis, footwells etc) but parts of the wiring are disconnected (most of engine bay)or have been cut to remove rear tub. Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram for this? It bears little resemblance to the standard civilian diagram which I have. Is it possible to simplify the wiring and use a civvy type light switch? Also, there is a pull switch beneath the dash near the choke control. It has a yellow knob. What is it.? I have tried "search", but the links quoted are "not found". Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWB Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hi, I can fix you up with a wiring diagram for a Series IIA GS 12v Lightweight if that is any good to you. I doubt if there is any difference between the models. Please PM me your home E-Mail address and I'll mail it on to you. Regards, Norman.

Briarston Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hello Norman. There seems to be similarities, but also many differences. Will study it more later. Meanwhile, back to the circuit tester. Thanks for trying. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWB Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi Jim, At the moment I've got a new wiring harness waiting to be fitted to my Series III Lightweight, (when the weather sorts itself out!). If you've any queries on yours, please give me shout, I might be tackling the same problem. Regards, Norman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
