or to be more precise, my sprite's wiring!
The mega re-build continues....
I have spent today connecting up all the terminals I can find
I have a charged battery connected up and everything seems to work!
Lights, indicators, warning lamps, wipers etc AOK.
But is there a way I can simply check to see if I have any shorts in the
wiring circuit anywhere that I cannot see that the battery charge will drain
away to?
I presume with everything switched off if I connect a meter it would register
a current flow if there is a short?
So I set the meter to read amps and connect it in series with the battery? Is
that right?
Second question .. are there any checks I should carry out on the voltage
regulator. It looks OK, but since the engine isn't in yet I cannot check the
operation in use, but would feel hapier if I could check it "static"
The car is on the way back up from a total strip out and rebuild. Bought it
in bits and it has never been running for 10 years so I have nothing to go on.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated as electrics are something
of a mystery to me. Dark unseen forces!
