RE: [doc] Wiring Harness

[Nick Tomlinson <nickandkathryntomlinson@xxxx>]

Hi Kevin, I'm not touching a loom change with a bargepole !
 
Seriously, I would remove the binnacle and then bell out (check for continuity) of the cable from the connectors to the sender units etc. checking forshort circuits. You never know, you may have a short in the instrumentation on the main circuit board but without a serious test everyone can put thier 2p of what it could be. Start and work methodically, it's the only way. If the dash is the inly problem with waving gauges then that's where I would start. Use the circuit diagram as a guide but don't necessarily rely on the cable colours !

HI John

What you are proposing is a a bit extreme!

My suggestion before going down this road is to disconnect the front harness
from all connections, then to do continuity checks before taking it all out.

>From experience it is most unlikely that you will find a broken cable more
likely a bad connection. You could spend a fortune chasing shadows
otherwise. Nick is pretty nifty on the electrical he may post an opinion if
he reads this.

All.

Let us suppose that I had decided to cut my losses and cure my
electrical problems by replacing the entire front electrical harness,
aside from the cost of the item from DMCH (or other chosen supplier)
there does not seem to be any info in the manual for how this is
achieved. Specifically I would like to rule out the connection point
as the cause of my headaches but it is not obvious where the
front/main harness join. If I look at the DMCH parts exploded diagram
it looks like there should be an obvious connector block, does anyone
have any ideas where?

As a further aid to diagnostics is there a easily accessible ground
point anywhere under the dash to avoid the cabling to the connecions
by the front wheel. This would help me rule out these connectors.
