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

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