Electrical problem TVR Taimar 1978

[flyingdutchie]

I went for a first drive with my Taimar after I got the license plates on. A lot of electrical funtions were sudenly gone. Warning lights on the dashboard do not function anymore. Voltmeter, rev counter, fuel gauge, watertemperature meter, indicators, brakelights, hazard, wipers also.

Normal lights work. I can flash the head lights. As there are some many functions lost there must be one very clear reason which I haven't found yet.

I found a plug under the bonnet and there is nothing connected. Where is it for? Could this be the reason?

I stil have the little fuse box with glass fueses. What do you mean with the live and negative studs?

Phillpott, I see 4 relays against the fire wall. For what are they. I only count 3 and I have 1 plug that does not have a relay and looks unsed. Or..... a relay fell off.....

GTRene, I did not touch the electrical system apart from the wires that go to the button that releases the rear hatch. Then I removed the panel in the hatch to be able to release the hatch by hand, because the solenoid is not working. There I also saw a lose wire. Still have to fix that.

The round black relay is connected Penelope Stopil.

It is the same relay which you see in the pictures when you follow the link that Phillpot did send in this thread.

My Taimar has electric fans but this was retro fitted.
