Morris Minor Owners Club

hi all i have bought a mini steering column for the morris and wondered which wires go to which

Indicator wires: Do they go in the same place as the minor?

1.purple + black
2.green + red
3.green + white
4.green + brown

main beam: Do these go from the dip switch and what is the purple wire for?

1.blue
2.blue + white
3.blue + red
4. purple

Ignition: where does the white and green and the brown wires go?

1.white
2.red + white
3.white + green
4.Brown

Purple is always the non-ignition fused feed for horn and headlamp flash. The purple/black may be the earth wire for the horn. Blue group wires are as Minor. Brown is 12v + power feed - white is unfused ignition supply to coil and ignition fed fuses, the other two - one will be to the starter solenoid - the other will be the key second position - accessories on, but ignition not on. Use a meter to find out which! Indicators - as Minor I think. Don't have a Mini diagram - so just working from common sense.......

so doed the blue group connect to the wires of the dipswitch i know the indicator ones are the same and the purple + black goes to the horn wire but not sure about the plain purple

Plain purple is fused horn and headlamp flash feed. Blue group replace th Minor dipswitch.

so where will i wire the purple wire as im not very good at wiring

You supply it with 12 volts - fused, non ignition - so you can flash the headlights!

I got myself a mini manual for the wires, about £5. You will spend more than that on fuses without it!!!!

Hi,
I'm currently doing wiring on a Fiat twin-cam 1965 Minor saloon, which has the Mini steering column fitted, so I'm also having to ponder at length how to adapt the Mini wiring loom to work on a Minor... Thanks for the tips/diagrams above

My progress can be followed on Retro Rides here http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.c ... 056&page=1

I finally got my Minor's Mini steering column fully functional, though I had to dismantle the indicator stalk because the terminals had sunk down too far in the housing base, and weren't making contact - a rather poor quality design At least the assemblies are rebuildable fairly easily though, which is something.

Maybe drop it in to one of those old-fashioned locksmith guys and have it over-hauled first
