I am trying to put back together a chimaera for a friend. He replaced the dash a while ago now but didn't note the location of the nest of wires beside radio. I think it's for lights, hazards and all that. Would anybody by chance have a picture of these wires in place, that is of course as long as tvr used the same colours in each car. Otherwise it's going to be quite a tedious job to look forward to. Thanks in advance

On mine it was just ribbon cables going from each switch to a control box I think a slightly wider one to the lights and then just a 5 way one to the hazards and fog lamp switch. it should be easy enough to test them or is this a different configuration?

Does your dash have buttons similar to this?

Yes that looks the One! Let me take a picture of it and I'll load it up. There is a nest of cables behind.

I wish that image was bigger but - It looks like the vehicle has standard British colour coded wiring. I think it is standard British because at the left side where that loom exits in the direction of where the hazard switch is going to be I can see a green/red trace wire and a green/white trace wire and I know those are used for LH/RH indicators in which case this proves to be the hazard switch loom.
All you need do is take a look at a British Colour Codes Chart and all will be revealed for all those wires you need to terminate

Thanks for that, great help. If you click the picture it should get bigger.

If it was a big picture you can click the picture and then click the picture that shows for a big picture
No problem, with a little reading and tagging what you work out you should be able to narrow the unknowns down
