Wiring, the Hated

Did I ever say electrics is the least fun part of this? Spent the small session today doing just that. The hour sums up to 3 cables laid down.

The loom caters for indicators on the scuttle. With new regulations (or interpretation of), the indicators must now be on the outside of the front wheel arches. Cut two bits of wire to go from the original connectors to near the arches, inside the engine bay. Then created a "v"-shaped bit that connects to the front indicators earth to be used by the ones on the wheel arches, because I did not have enough cable to pull it from near the scuttle. Placed a couple of tie-wraps and tucked the wires inside the convoluted tube I have on the bay to make it look less messy.

Then I still started looking at the wires behind the dash, but had to leave before archiving anything. The problem is that the loom that exits the Digidash has 2 dangling wires and the car loom only has one dangling. I have to figure out what is missing and what to connect where.

I don't like electrics because I don't understand them well. I don't like because I'm slightly colour-blind and distinguishing tones (pink and purple; black or dark-blue; ...) to make connections is not fun.

Next tasks... Probably in the order I need to sort them... Fix the wiring on the dash; attach the front wings with the indicators and connect them to the loom; get the scuttle fixed on the chassis, the bulkhead on the chassis and the scuttle on the bulkhead; attach the rubber catches to the hood and sides to hold the hood in place. Then, move to the rear of the car!
