    Wiring help needed for 1968 2a

    I have some difficulties and questions regarding my 2a rewiring job.
    1: I'm trying to work out what the wiper inhibitor socket is and where its located. There's no mention of it in the manuals but it appears on the wiring diagrams.

    2: I have a relay among my parts:


    It doesn't appear on any wiring diagrams abut there is a mention in the workshop manual about testing this relay if there has been an alternator upgrade. The manual doesn't show how or why it should be used. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    In the absence of SII gurus - and I'm not a guru but I have a SIIa WSM - in reverse order:

    the relay is the external regulator for the alternator. Possibly the top of your wiring diag, item 25, 'regulator box'. If you've updated your alt, the ext reg isn't required.

    the wiper inhibit mechanism usually is a cam operated switch within the wiper motor.

    Not familiar with that device and it's a bit difficult to see on these screens at work with it's dark background.

    Are you sure that it is a relay?

    Could it be an alternative type of the voltage stabiliser unit for the fuel and temp guages?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    It is indeed a relay.
    Single pole double throw (changeover contact)
    20A
    Possibly for headlights or some other form of lighting?
    Where is a wiring diagram? I'll find where it goes.
