[Healeys] BN2 Wiring Begins

[David Nock]

DO NOT FUSE THE BLUE HEADLIGHT WIRE.

	Why because if you are driving at night and suddenly loose your lights due to a faulty fuse for what ever reason. You will not be able to see and then you never know what may happen.

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

>> 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.
