Re: My very ambitious project mk2 Reply #35 – January 28, 2023, 04:00:38 PM Just need some help with electrics...I am not sure which relays it is supposed to have in it. These are what was in there and have all been replaced with better ones except the number 1 bottom right which i cant find....This is the new fusebox...327905099_1721677841559755_1162812222456635180_n by Michelle Hodder, on FlickrI need to know what I am missing as im pretty sure there was supposed to be something in the bottom right (was a number 1 but cant find one to buy?) also the one next to it which looks to have snapped off and disappeared?Any ideas what I am missing, what number the relays are and what they do? I have so far got 1 headlamp working and 1 side repeater, nothing else is working... so either its relays or wiring.

Re: My very ambitious project mk2 Reply #38 – January 30, 2023, 01:28:11 PM It looks like some kind of jumper lead, to take a feed elsewhere - potentially aftermarket or some kind of bypass.
