Rear Harness Wiring Diagram

[ukkid35]

I'm using this to double check the the wiring to J53 - Ignition Control Unit

http://www.tvr-cerbera.co.uk/WorkshopWiringDiagram...

I can't make out the wire colours for A1 and B1, can anyone confirm?

You're certainly having much fun with electrics recently

A1 - Red

B1 - White

Thank you much appreciated

I lost my headlights on the way back to the UK ten days ago, and I'm still trying to work out what caused that

When I checked the other control boxes I found more problems

I've now checked the Light Switching Unit, and relay RL2 looks like it's overheated, or failed in some way

The symptoms are that the relay oscillates such that the main bean flickers

Full beam is fine, as are all other lights

Is there anyway to remove the glue on the back of the board so the relays can be replaced/swapped?

Any other suggestions for a quick temporary fix?

The stitched version is good to follow. If you can't read the wire colours one end, follow to the other end. That file size looks small?

any better

Yes that's great thanks

No probs - shout if you need others

I found that Carb Cleaner (not brake cleaner) was pretty good when removing the adhesive





I reflowed the solder on both sides for the +ve feed that is clearly stressed



Then I left the headlights on for 90 mins or more



And I tried upsetting the control box, but it was totally stable for 90 mins or more

Also three were no hotspots, everything felt fine

Maybe it's fixed?

I've also bought a couple of the relays, but they're due to be delivered to my hotel in Gernany in a few days time

[Byker28i]

Dry joints then do you think?

The heat generated by the poor connection on the +ve feed had definitely made the solder look cloudy

Nice fix

Relays are made be TE Connectivity, but I doubt that makes a difference

No need to replace any of them at the moment anyway

Good value at €10 in p&p for two

[Polly Grigora]

Cheap as chips

The quality on that scan is much higher than the ones from http://www.tvr-cerbera.co.uk - @byker28i do you have the other ones in the same high res as it would be super handy to have those too - especially for me Rear Harness Part 2

Many thanks
