Thread: New Loom..

Flagg,

Any chance the engine loom would be available separately? Got a pic of the harness connector to the main harness?

Any updates on the new looms?

I drove it out of the garage for the first time yesterday

There was one mistake - easy to fix.

There are 3 things I've not been able to work out - the reverse light, the rear wiper and the interior light.

The problem is that there were many different options and variants. Switches etc that changed in minor ways throughout the years..

It was autosparks that made it up - and they now have a pattern for the engine loom. The only thing is that there is a relay which has been wired up in the patter which can be used as an anti-theft device (this is all I can think off).

The full loom (non-AC) was 450 pounds - so not cheap. However i found literally HUNDREDS of problems waiting to happen with the old loom when I was taking it out. It would have been a life of unending pain, so I don't regret it for a second.

It is a lot of work to replace the loom, and there are many places that I had to butcher connecters and bits from the old loom to get everything connected - it isn't a 100% like for like. But there is too much variation from the factory to get it perfect I think.

PM me if you want the details of my order.. I decided not to get more than one made up as there could be too much trouble working out which was going to be the most common / what people need.

This is what the engine plug looks like:

I think you'll find the reverse light is wired frm the oil pressure warning light circuit
