Bits and bobs - rear fog light wiring, horn etc.
Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 7:26 pm
I guess my first issue is where is the horn button on an 1987 sj413 jx? I literally have no idea. I think I need one for the MOT so its one of those things that I just needd to fix.
I tried to wire up a rear fog today, the fog light is existing on the car however the wires have been chopped which is annoying. The switch has also been chopped however I found 3 wires behind the switch that matched up to the cut wires on the switch so I wired them back up and the light on the switch seemed to work ok, however I still dont know which wires at the rear of the car to attach the lights too. Can someone help.
Another sort of issue that I have is with my headlights. When the key is not in I can turn the lights on and they come on properly and when I try and switch them off at the stalk again they just stay on until I pull the lever towards me, why would this be happening? I am also not sure whether or not my full beams are working properly as I was looking at the bulbs while changing the light stalk and it seemed like different parts of the bulb where lighting up but that the bulb did not seem to get any brighter when it was full beam, again does anyone know what might be happening here.
Is reverese light a requirement for MOT (I know rear fog is but am not sure about reversse light)
I am really new to electrics on cars so dont really know quite what I am doing but can learn real quick so if anyone has any thoughts then please let me know as this is something that I would like to solve before MOT test.
thanks all
