And now for something completely different.... I have a wiring anomaly on the 1968 Midget. In doing out the brakes, I am replacing the brake failure switch. The old one got hammered somewhere along t
Yes, wire one side of a two pin switch to ground to effectively make it act like a one wire switch. Cheers, Derf _______________________________________________ Edit your replies http://www.team.net
.. sounds simple, instead of having a switch that connects a hot wire all that you have to do is completely reverse the wiring to your brakes so that it now connects a ground wire.. heh.. Lester ____
It is the failure switch he's working on, not the brake light switch. _______________________________________________ Edit your replies http://www.team.net/archive http://autox.team.net/mailman/listi
Also, I don't think that switch on the brake failure thing is a regular switch. I think there is a metal plunger in there that moves when the brake pressure is uneven. That plunger grounds the wire,
Yeah, it sounds like you got a brake light switch, (some were hydraulically operated) when you wanted that warning light device. Get in touch with Peter C and see if that part is available. Paul A an
Actually, he got the 2 wire PWDA switch from me. I can't find reference to a 1 wire as a separate part (ie not part of the whole freaking hydraulic lump) The dash warning switch/light assembly is di
IIRC, the warning light thing is more of a contact that just touches the metal plunger when the system gets out of balance. _______________________________________________ Edit your replies http://ww
I looked in the pdf manual I have and while it has a diagram of the pressure warning system, it doesn't show the switch as either one- or two-wire. It seems as though there were both one- and two-wir
I agree with whoever indicated that you can ground one side of the PWDA switch and connect the other side to the 1-wire connector for the harness. David Lieb _________________________________________
Guys Bentley wire diagram which is different from Haynes on the US spec 68 Sprite/Midget shows a 1 wire failure switch Page 255 wire diagram #5. Haynes shows a 2 wire switch. Now where do you find on

<<Bentley wire diagram which is different from Haynes >> Duh!! I would "hope" that over the past decade or so that I have expoused enough that Haynes SUCKS in the Elec. Dept.!! ______________________
FWIW, Prospero's Garage had my wiring diagram exactly like what is in the car while Haynes didn't. I don't have a Bentley book. Jim -- The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly i
My Prosperos' diagram for '64-67 Spriget has the RIght Front turn light and the right side marker lamps transposed with the wiring ... I told them about it, they offered to replace it with a correcte
Oh. That's kind of a relief to know-I've been comparing one to the other and wondered if there were things reversed or brought in from somewhere else. Chris <<Bentley wire diagram which is different
I dunno what the deal is on that, Dave. Prospero's used to be a one man operation (the guy also has older BMW motorcycles which is how I met him). He's a great guy and really helpful. I see it is now
