I\'ve painted the dash and other cabin bits and it\'s going back together ok, just a few screws left over as usual.

However I don\'t seem to have enough wires left to complete all the connections.

I have a cigar lighter and along side that to the left is an orange rocker wsitch for the rear high viz light. Ther are two spade connectors on each item but I can only find three wires.

From the way the wires sit it would suggest that the cigar lighter only has one feed. Can this be right ?

Don\'t want to assemble it all to find the cigar lighter doesn\'t work as I use it to power the Road Angel and thats most important.

Thanks

Can\'t help you with your question John as I\'m about to start my dash job, any chance of some pics of the spraying you\'ve done?

Thanks

The cigarette lighter requires a live and a earth.

Your fog light requires two cables as well, one live one going to the light.

Looks like you have some investigating mate..

Thanks donato at least I know that there is another wire in there somewhere :(

Dave - will post picks when it\'s finished and I get the seats back and fitted.

Hope it\'ll be done in time to take to the AGM.

I meant to say...

one live AND one going to the light.

If you cant find it just identify which one it is, if it is an earth for the cigarette lighter thats easy just run another earth cable, if its a positive then you will need to run a positive feed from somewhere to the missing connector...

If its the cable that goes to the rear light your in trouble matey as you will need to run another one...

Good luck
