Wiring mine at the moment.....Bought a loom with all of the additional bits that we need over here in UK, (brake fluid warning, Foglight, handbrake warning, 4-way flashers etc)

cause I'm scared of electrics.....I've have spent FOREVER laying in the wires, crimping and soldering ends and all of the easy stuff....Plucked up the courage to connect a battery....Turned the key in the ignition and.............
........

Nothing, not a cheep, no lights, nowt....Then I remembered the BIG red master switch I had installed :( DOH...

So flicked it on, turned the key again, Oil warning light, generator light, will it fire....yep !! First time start, all lights go out as normal, the indicators work and even the 4-way flashers :) :)

Happy bunny.....

Congrats - stop by my garage next! It's the pop-crackel and wisp of smoke followed by an acidric smell that you don't want!
