New harness-to-indicator stalk wiring

[Garry Beckett]

Hi All, can anyone put me out of my misery on this please?!?! I've fitted a complete new wiring loom to my sons 65 2 door... We are almost there with everything working, except the Horn & indicators (and interior light, but we do not have one at present, so are not too worried about that for now)!!
I fitted a complete new indicator stalk last summer which has worked fine after I connected it by trial & error to the much hacked about previous loom... But now, the combination of wire colours against the new loom & indicator stalk harness colours has got me (lets just say frustrated as they do not seem to match any diagrams I can find...Trial & error has also had no luck either, so, can anyone tell me which joins which please... ????

From the harness I have : 1 light green. 1 Green & Brown. 2 Green & white. 2 Green & Red & 1 Purple & Black...........
From the stalk we have: 1 Brown & Black. 1 Green & Yellow. 1 Green & White. 1 Green & purple. 1(Normal Green, not Light Green) & 1 Black....................

Also, lower down the loom towards the bulkhead, nr to where the reds & blues for the headlights exit the casing, I have a thin purple & a thin black connected to nothing at present... And at the other point where all the switch wires etc exit the casing, I have a lonely thin red wire, which has neither a bullet or spade connector on it, and that I can find no home for at all!!! Many thanks in anticipation of your answers... Gazza

Very non-standard stalk colours! Where did you get the stalk - is it for a Minor???

[Garry Beckett]

Hi, well it was advertised on ebay as Minor spares...and it fitted ok without modifications being made.. Somehow I managed to wire it last year so that it worked, just Shame i didnt photgraph it this time before i disconnected it & discarded the old harness... Its got me a bit stumped at the mo, and do not possess a big socket at the mo the remove the steering wheel, get the cover off the stalk & trace the wires to their contact points!!

mmmm
something don't seem right there in the colours

[bmcecosse]

And - you don't need a big socket! Tap it with a hammer and chisel or centre punch..... (this will keep the thread running for a few days)... As for the wiring - ring out the connections with your meter - there are very few possible combinations!

[alexmcguffie]

If you do use a hammer and chisel to undo a but (!) make sure to wear the appropriate health and safety gear.... Unless you know someone with a 33mm socket of course. This forum makes me laugh sometimes ....

[mike.perry]

I gave you a list of the correct wires, or did I waste my time?

[bmcecosse]

Your list looks good to me mp.

[Garry Beckett]

Hi Mike, no you didnt waste your time mate, thanks for your reply.... Looks like I'll have to get the cover off the indicator stalk now though, so that I can see where the odd coloured wires on the stalk harness conect to & then I can join up as per your guidance.. Many thanks for your answer... Gazza
