[Zmagnette] Wiring problem

[John Perkins]

Roger:
     I sounds like there are two separate issues.
     On your ZB, the Dome light should have a brown wire with a green 
tracer to power it and a brown wire with black tracer to the door 
switches to ground it.  This will be energized all the time not just 
when the key is turned on, so I would recommend checking out your 
connections to the dome light.
     The turn signal issue is most likely incorrect wiring at the 
direction indicator relay unit.  Here is a diagram of just the unit that 
may help you.  On my own car, the cover was on the unit incorrectly so 
when I thought I was attaching a wire to terminal 1 it was actually 
terminal 8.  If you look at the factory shop manual diagram, the 
Direction Indicator Relay Unit, it shows the coils and relay points - 
with the diagram I enclosed, you should be able to determine if your 
relay unit has had the cover installed wrong or not.
