Classic Revival Wiring

[Aussie Mike]

Hi All,

I'm wiring up the Cobra at the moment and it's a source of confusion for many of us. I've been working it all out as I go and thought I'd do some wiring diagrams of each circuit as I go. Hopefully these will help anyone else taking on the job of wiring up their CR.

The first one is the Head lights. I wired High and low beam through relays to keep any high current out of the switch assembly. all the switch is doing is switching the earth that triggers each of the headlight relays.

One of my concerns was that since this is an open top car there wouldn't be much to stop someone turning on the headlights and draining the battery when the car is parked. For this reason I've set them up so the lights will only come on when the key is in and turned on. They also turn off automatically when you crank the engine.

The parkers are on a seperate circuit that can be turned on when the ignition is off as I figured I may want to leave them on If I'm away from the car. The tail lamps and parkers and instrument lights are all LED lamps so they use very little current. Leaving them on for an extended period shouldn't flatten the battery.

So here's the first wiring diagram and I'll add some more diagrams as I progress through the loom.



I must thank Leeroy for working out the colour codes for the Suzuki switch gear.

Edit: Just updated the drawing to include the Relay Pin outs.

Cheers
