This last weekend just gone I helped a mate sort out the dashboard
wiring in his 'new' ?400 Fiat. This wiring was mostly a mess of short
lengths of twisted together cable and melted adhesive insulting tape
due to many home modifications in its life. I did ask him to get a
service manual that included a circuit diagram but on the day we were
still without and, after the usual disclaimers about working without
docs, I went about fixing what was there.
Not only did I fix the wiring, the dashboard lighting and the clock I
installed a CD player (into the hole where most of the wires had been
hanging from) and a cigarette lighter socket so he could use his in car
charger for his phone. All went well, the dash was re-assembled, the
CD player worked, the phone charged and all the lights lit. Then my
mate got out his cigarettes and pressed the lighter home....
Eventually we realised the noise we could just hear over the somewhat
loud Metallica Black album was the rear screen wiper swishing back and
forth across a dry screen.
Lee.
