Wiring Help

Post by Born_disturbed » Sun Jan 22, 2012 3:31 pm

Well! i managed to get my car started for the first time in about 5 months last night! however small issues..

Headlights and motors dont work off the combination switch, headlights will pop up on the dash switch however.

Hazards wont work off the dash switch but indicators work fine.

Thats all ive noticed so far, is there a relay that would do either of these and if so where is it?

Hoping for an answer before i go brave the weather to have a go myself :lol:

Edit: Wipers also not working... combination switch maybe? dear god i hope not..

I recently took my Series 1 MX5 out of mothballs. Pumped up the tyres, put a fresh battery in, she fired into life first turn of the key and drove like a dream after 6mths of sleep. Not 1 thing to do for the WOF ..what a car

It never ceases to amaze me how easily it starts after a long sleep... the Alfas are always a bitch to get going MX5s are cool, I should not let her sit for so long at times
