universal wiring kits

[stiffy]

TroyBoy,



I just had my Daytona wired from scratch in Victoria.
The sparky/engineer is up to his 20th Cobra/Daytona. If you want his details
give me a PM and I will send them on.

I bought a Painless universal harness and while everything is labelled very well, there are lots of things you don't need and some that you do need (like reversing lights) are missing. It is quite complex but now I understand a lot more than I did before. You have buy lots of relays, as Sideshow says, and connectors as the ones supplied are pretty average. In hindsight I would probably mkae my own if there was a good template. Geof Hemphill has a very helpfull pair of wiring diagrams on his gallery. Really with that and using the right wires and connectors would get you there.

The "Painless" Harness is not so painless and at least twice I have been ready to rip it out and throw it away. Hours spent with a test light and battery charger to find out things for my self. Still.... almost there!

Unlike Merv, I found the painless harness pretty painless. All wires are labeled every 300mm or so.

The column switches took some thinking but that wasn't too bad once I got a sigma wiring diagram.

I got it all working without relays initially then just added the relays for the high draw stuff to take the load off the switches. (cooling fan, headlights, fuel pumps etc.)

Took only a weekend to run the harness and get it to work without the relays.....was just a matter of then hiding the harness out of sight and running circuits for the relays.

Rebel 1,

I am currently helping a friend with his wiring and we were wondering where we could get a Sigma column wiring diagram, with out buying a manual.
Would you be able to help us out with a copy of yours?
Thank's,

Harry.

Sure can Harry..send me an email to:

rebel3@tpg dot com dot au and I'll send you back pages from the manual.

Cheers

Good that someone found the Painless harness so effective. I probably will say the same when the glow of completion hits me. Warwick said he also found it more complex than needed and wires that needed to be added. Anyway, I think I may have the Sigma column mount so I would like a copy of that as well if possible just to check if all my work with the test lite was correct. Any chance of a PM on that?

Many thanks

Merv
