I feel your pain. My dad got a new harness for our BN2 (probably
from Moss). I thought the harness was good quality overall, and
everything worked except the turn signals. I spent 3 days
double-checking everything; we went so far as to open the relay box,
but everything looked good in there. I eventually discovered the
wiring to one of the rear brake/turn lights was mis-colored. This
really pissed me off, as I'd wired a bare chassis just from the
schematic and it would have been 100% correct if not for the
misidentified wire. I'll probably never sell the car, but whoever
ends up with it will be confused, as a couple of wires are
interchanged from the schematic. Come to think of it, I should
probably label the flaw ... as soon as I finish all the other stuff
needs fixin'.<br>

<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Was in the engine bay doing
some preliminary wiring of components tonight. Specifically,
the fuse block and the voltage regulator. Looking at a wiring
diagram, the way you see in the two pictures is mostly
correct, but look at what the arrows are pointing at. At the
point in the harness where the wires come out of the loom for
the fuse block, you can see on the right hand side the arrow
is pointing to a brown wire with a green stripe. Good so
far. Now look what the arrow is pointing at on the other side
of the fuse block. It's a large solid brown wire. Now in the
wiring diagram this brown wire is supposed to be a
continuation of the brown with a green stripe wire. That
brown wire with the green strip that was supposed to be there
goes to the "A" connection of the voltage regulator. Now look
at the picture of the voltage regulator and notice what the
orange arrow is pointing at. It is the other end of the plain,
large brown wire! The electrical connections are correct.
The color coding of the harness is not. I have just started
wiring. What else might I find in the rest of the harness?
This harness was a gift from my late friend Tom Rocke. It was
one of many free parts he supplied for this rebuild. Don't
know if I should complain about a free harness.</div>
