Hazard light dashboard wiring.

[TVRmuppet]

Hi there.

I'm redoing my dash. I have taken out the lower dash and am ready for refit. I thought that I hadn't touched the wires to the hazard switch and the two indficator lights. However , clearly something has gone astray as one of the wires is off of one of the indicator lights. My problem is that I cannot find any spare wire with a spade connector on, anywhere near. Now I'm thinking to myself did one fall off the light and I put it back wrong, though I cant remember doing so. H E L P

Nosh, your car is the same age, can you remember or have photos of the wiring on the left side of the radio?

This is what I have at the moment


BTW 1994 car

At work at the moment, but does your switch flash on and off?

Not now. This is going to sound daft, but I cant remember whether it did flash or not. Its a clear red button and wired to the indicator dash lamps. I never have had to use it as TVR's are so reliable.

For a start, both bulbs need 2 wires (earth and live) - it may share an earth........

Will dig around when I get home and let u know.....

If you connect wire from the open terminal to earth, the indicator dash lights both work, however the hazards don't.

Try this....



The black wire that goes from the bulb to the switch, and then goes into the loom, needs to go from one bulb to the other.....

I think.....

Thats what I thought. Will try tonight if it ever stops raining. Got all the top reveneered dash in last night. Have also redone all the seats, door cards and dash with leather paint. Looks fantastic IMHO.
