<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I have a laminated BN2 wiring diagram to work from. I sat one afternoon in my living room using painter's tape to label as many of the connections of the main harness as possible. At least I can see what part of the harness goes on which side of the firewall. I am guessing that I will be doing multiple continuity checks on the same color wiring to see where the other end goes in the case of multiple same color wires. Just a hassle as I have no one to mine information from that has done this wiring before. I am electrically challenged as it is. Making sure positive goes to the red wire and negative to the black wire is the extent of my knowledge for the most part.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mike<br></div><div><br></div>

The flasher indicator in the dash instrument panel is wired differently. Best to check that you have the correct indicator first. </span></span></p><p class="yiv3960963221MsoNormal"><span class="yiv3960963221DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"> </span></span></p><p class="yiv3960963221MsoNormal"><span class="yiv3960963221DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">Regards,</span></span></p><p class="yiv3960963221MsoNormal"><span class="yiv3960963221DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">Mike Lempert</span></span></p></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys " target="_blank">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys </a><a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br><br><a ymailto="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/rrengineer.mike@att.net" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/rrengineer.mike@att.net</a><br><br></div>
