<DIV><FONT size=2>Not sure exactly what you are saying is incorrect - if the
colours don't match up between the new and old switches, or the new switch and
your harness, or if the wrong side flashes. </FONT><FONT size=2>Colours on
replacement switches can be wrong. If Moss have supplied an incorrect item
then return it, or at least talk to then about it. You shouldn't have to

<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm also not exactly sure what is happening, or not
happening. You seem to be saying the indicator flasher clicks, but the
lamps aren't lighting? In that case you have an incorrect indicator
flasher unit. As a 66 you should have the original large cylindrical 3-pin
flasher. That shouldn't click unless it is powering at least one bulb, and
if only one bulb is working it should only give a very brief
flicker.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If one side is OK the flasher unit is OK, so start at the
switch. And given your concern about wiring colours, having individual
bullets it may not have been connected correctly.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>With 12v on the pump terminal (if right on the spade) and not
on the pump body then it almost certainly is the points oxidised. Remove
the cap, separate the points carefully and slide a piece of fine wet and dry
through them, both sides.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I wasn’t pointing fingers, just reporting a fact for general reference. I
found another discrepancy today, although it is unclear whether the fault is
in the wiring diagram or the part. The colors shown for the turn signal
indicator wires are reversed, compared to the wires built into the turn signal
switch. This was a Moss replacement switch, made in China, so it is very
likely that it was just manufactured incorrectly. Anyway, it is easy enough to
just switch the lamp positions.

<DIV>I am having a persistent problem with the right side lamps, however. The
indicator flashes, but I can’t get anything out of the front or rear lamps.
I can’t even get the test lamp to flash with the probe inserted in the
very first junction, or even on the contact in the switch itself. This is
rather baffling — all it could be is a discontinuity inside the copper rivet,
it seems to me. This switch was functioning on the other car, last year, but I
can’t say I am very impressed with its quality of construction. Unless someone
has a better suggestion, I think I am going to order another switch.</DIV>

<DIV>I still don’t have the fuel pump working. It has 12v at the terminal, and
not on the body. I am thinking I will have to take it apart and look at the
points. I got distracted with the dash
wiring.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
