[Healeys] BN2 Wiring Begins

[gradea1 at charter.net]

There is no fuse protection to the rear of the car and also the
headlights. Suggest you add a 20A inline fuse to the red wire coming
to the rear just at the left side junction of the tail lamp harness to
protect both tail and licence lights in the event of a rear end
collision. A short will burn the harness down all the way to the
firewall. Also fuse the blue wire at the headlight switch for the same
reason. The fuse box only covers the horns, battery (50A) and key on
items (35A). If you use US made fuses cut them by 1/2 - 25 and 17 amp
Buss fuses
Note also that the BN2 has only one overdrive relay (no govener).

Put a fuse in the power circuit from the battery before you turn
anything on. Better to blow a fuse than burn up the wiring.
_ABSOLUTELY_

Mike MacLean>  Michael: If you’re working from a BN1 wiring diagram,
be aware that there was but one difference with the BN2. The flasher
indicator in the dash instrument panel is wired differently. Best to
check that you have the correct indicator first.  Regards,Mike
