Having just bought a Cerb and slowly overcoming all the electrical parts that do not work, does anyone know where I may find a proper wiring diagram?

I have the workshop manual but compared with my Elise workshop manual it looks as if it was cobbled together over a weekend. There is very little information in it apart from the obvious.
Maybe that was the intention but to me, owning a classic British sports car is working on it as well.

I am well versed in electrics and electronics and am able to program mini PLC replacements for any modules that may fail but simple things like non functioning heater fan and fuel gauge are a real pain without information.
Last night the window refused to lower/raise when getting out the car although it works from the button.
I understand that unplugging and re-connecting the control box may sort this problem so will test tonight.
These various control boxes seem to have very buggy electronics though which can easily be overcome with cheap mini PLC's which are virtually bug proof.

Thanks Byker, I downloaded the manual from this site but missed the wiring diagrams in a separate link.

The manual just has dash and door looms.

My AC also doesn't engage so I have four problems to solve now after sorting the steering wheel.

Your a/c maybe is low on refrigerant and is out on low pressure. Best check that you have gas in it first.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't know there was a pressure switch in the system as I can hear a click in the controller at the rear but the light doesn't come on and the magnetic clutch doesn't engage on the pulley.

Yup if it's low on pressure it won't run/engage the clutch.

Have fun fixing the leaks. I think I'm just about there with mine now.

Thanks all, I'm just printing all the drawings.
Some are hard to read but have been scanned extremely well and can be zoomed in so I will print them A3.

Lovely job
