[Healeys] Which Harness?

Tue Nov 6 15:29:02 MST 2018

I got one from the below site for Christmas a couple of years ago.  While it is very easy to follow, I did find a couple of errors and ended up using the one I got from British Wiring with my new harness.

Wiring codes are on my site and are generic. I found this on a MG site but since this is a Lucas chart it should suffice since many parts are interchangeable.

Look also at    <https://colorwiringdiagrams.com> https://colorwiringdiagrams.com

BTW my name is spelled SIMS one m and the possessive is SIMS’

Michael 

If all else fails check out John Simms web site for the electrical diagrams in full colour for the various models ( certainly has them for the later cars at least )

every standard wire is clearly labelled as to trace colour where it goes etc. and an A3 copy or larger if you can access one will confirm what each wire is connected

to and make life easy for you. Proved invaluable when I replaced the wiring harness during restoration of my BJ8

Good luck

Thanks guys.  The Bugeye was easy since I had owned six of them prior to that restoration.  This is the first big Healey I have attempted.  Getting it as a bare shell has not helped in the re-installation of anything on this car.  With nothing to go by near me since Tom Rocke passed away I have no examples to look at.  I guess I just have to start labeling the individual wires as best I can. and start from there.

Here is a picture of the "offending" section of the harness.  Does look like a BN1 or BN2 harness to you?  Seems to be more wires than my BN2 wiring diagram calls for, or I could be misinterpreting the diagram.

Hi Mike,

Pretty sure that the big difference will be in the wiring for the overdrive relays that are just above the driver's knees.

In that area for a BN1 there will be a group of 4 wires that go to those relays.

1 x Black

1 x Green

1 x Green with Black and Yellow

1 x Green with Black and White.

That group won't be there for the BN2 harness.

     I have a wiring harness that was given to me by a restorer friend just before he passed away.  He told me it was a BN2 harness.  It is cloth with PVC wires.  The pictures I have of most restorations that clearly show the main harness against the firewall are cloth and braid covered wires.  I can see the color codes of the braided wires that align with some of the PVC wires of my harness, but I seem to have a few extra wires coming out of the harness where there should not be any.  How can I tell the difference between a BN1 and a BN2 main harness that is cloth and PVC.  There is also four smaller harnesses of which I am sure one or more will connect to the main harness somewhere.  A little bit more to deal with here than my Bugeye that I installed in 2000.
