The one wire going to the bulb socket is blue. The other green wire was cut. Where does that green wire go ? Is it a ground ? Most of the other bulb sockets have red with blue stripe wires, but mine is blue. I don't see a blue wire on the wiring diagrams going to the bulb sockets either. Thank you.

Hello, I have been searching and reading for the past month trying to make sure I understand. It's more so information overload. Was hoping someone here who understands better than I could lend some insight. Anyhow, background: Car: 1970 Datsun 240Z Distributor: 280ZX with E12-80 Module Tach: 280Z internals swapped into 240Z Housing Coil: MSD Blaster 2 Okay, so I have bypassed the ballast resister and connected those two wires(BW to GW). Then took the keyed 12v source that became live after connecting the two ballast wires (BW) and ran that to the "+" terminal on the coil. From the "+" I ran a new wire to the B connector on the E12-80. From the C…

Hello everyone, I have two Series-1 hazard switches, and on both, the rocker inside the hazard switch (photo attached of a good one, from google) appears to have snapped, rendering both switches useless. Not sure how common this is, but they both failed around the same time. Are we at a point in 2016 where someone can 3D print this bad boy? If not, does anyone have spares, or lastly, know anyone who can rebuild these? Cheers and thanks. Bill

Anybody happen to know where this red wire goes ? It comes from a 3 pin connector on the passenger side of car. There's a red wire, a red black wire and a green wire. As in pic, the red wire goes to a female bullet connector, then goes to another female bullet connector. Where do the bullet connectors go ? Thank you very much.

The pic with the buss flasher comes from the passenger side beside the glove box. There's a 4 pin connector labeled 36. It has a black white, black yellow, green black and a green red wire. Anybody know what the green black and green red wires are for ? Turn signals or horn relay ? The other pic comes from the middle of the dash beside the fuses. There's a blue wire at 11 o'clock in the pic. What is that for ? Antenna ? There's a blue white wire below that. Is that for the cig. lighter ? There's another bigger blue wire beneath that with the inline fuse. That goes to the blower motor I believe. Any help ? Thank you very much.

It sits between the blower and the heater box and the blower fans ground is wired through it. Thanks, Chris

I have ordered some odd-looking relays via eBay recently to see what they are like and how they would work out. Both are the 4-pin type. One is a "waterproof relay" that comes in its own shell, and the other is a relay with an integrated blade fuse. What I'm interested in knowing is that for the former relay, is it practical? The the base has the terminals, the cap has the relay inside, and you plug them together. For the latter, would you trust it to work if mounted on the inner fender? It looks like the socket where the fuse goes would be most likely to collect water and eventually corrode. If not, this relay would make it convenient, as you don't need to w…

Most Internet tutorials show schematics where the relay for fog lamps or headlamps is activated by a switch that's connected to a switched 12V power source. You could also just bridge the 12V source to Pins 87 ( the relay contacts) and 30 (the coil) and go from pin 30 to ground with a switch in the cabin. The latter switched-ground method uses one less connection to the battery. But for the convenience of turning the lights off when you turn off the keyswitch or engine, you need another hot wire. My question would be, "where do you get the switched power from?" You could tap into the radio or heater power wires, but those two things use a good bit of power, an…

I can't find any 10 amp SFE fuses anywhere! The SFE is for automotive and only holds up to 32V. The AGCs are all purpose and go to 250V. I have the 20 amp SFE and was wondering if it would be okay to use the 10 amp all purpose fuses? Thanks for any help. Cliff

Hey everyone, I decided that popping the hood all the time to disconnect the battery was getting a bit old and I wanted to install a battery disconnect switch (one with the red removable key) and actually had one from a while ago. My question here is on how big the wire gauge needs to be (and still be safe), and how I should go about making or where I can but the wiring components necessary. I have a spot for it on the dash and thought I'd ask for some tips especially from the guys that have done this kind of thing before. Chris
