WIRING DIAGRAM

[lencot76]

Hello I am restoring a 1969 Morris 1000,it has a dynamo and flashing indicators as normal When I bought the car there were a few faults on it ,so I don`t know if the lights were all working.I have got the lights ,side/head and dip working,but I am trying to sort out the indicators The front have a slight glimmer on them ,but I have to connect the rear one up.My workshop manual hasn`t a page in it,other than the one with semaphore indicators.So I don`t know what colour wire is for the indicators.I havn`t any voltage on the two spare wires I have ,so I need to check from the front.I also don`t know the layout of the flashing relays.Can anyone help

Look at the top of the electrical section, there is a wiring diagram there.

On the one circuit I have ,the drawing for the rear lights show two bulb.filaments ,yet it is listed as stop/tail and ind,showing there should be 3 filaments on the drawing

Yet another strange fault.If I connect a meter to the brake switch,and operate the brake pedal.it shows the switch is working.If I then short the two leads going to the switch with a bit of wire,then the brake lights work.However if I connect the wires to the switch and operate the pedal,the brake lights don`t work.When my pedal operator ( my wife ) has a minute I will get her to operate the brake pedal,and see whether the wires are shorted together,to make a circuit The problems with older cars

The excellent wiring diagram at the top of this section is correct - print off a copy, and keep it in the car! The brake light switch has failed - a common problem - and new replacements are very short lived, it seems.

As above. Brake light switch may show on multimeter, but not be able to pass the current needed for lamps. The stop/tail lamp is a single bulb with two filaments. The indicator is a separate single filament bulb (on later cars like yours. NB earlier cars had a relay arrangement that flashed the brake light).

I`ll have another look at the brake switch, thanks Len

The indicators will not work unless you have the front and rear bulbs on each side wired up. The flasher unit requires 2 x 21W + 5W indicator bulb to work correctly

Thanks for the help,someone emailed me a circuit and everything is now fine

What was wrong with the diagram at the top of this section??? It's colour coded - and perfectly correct !!

Don't know about Len, but I can only see part of it on my device.

All there in full colour on my laptop.
