Been a bit of an up and down week for me
Spent the week on and off removing what was an abortion of wiring used for the front spots (previous owner used house flex, and separate non standard switch under the dash) when turned on the rear spot warning light on dash would illuminate?
Removed all the wiring and put in bin, purchased loom with relay and switch included from Ebay and ran wiring as per their instructions, couldn't get the lights to work, checked out everything with meter which seemed fine? Finally ran fused feed direct from battery to relay and proved live side of wiring was OK did same with earth and they finally worked (turned out I had a poor earth behind the dash to the new relay
All working now
but manage to kill the battery draining it with lights on etc. (it was 7 Years old) fortunately new Bosch battery was given to me by the previous owner which is now fitted and holds charge.
As a final kick in the groin the engine management light decided to illuminate
so off I went to buy a cheap code reader. Cleared the code (flat battery was culprit)
Taking a rest from working on her and taking her out this weekend
