[Zmagnette] Wiring problem

[Mike Ash]

All good suggestions.  However, I would like to suggest that it may be a
ground problem.  I do not know which one, but I would suggest that all
ground connections be checked (with a meter) for a solid connection to the
bare chassis, and that they are not insulated from the chassis by paint.  

 

In my experience with a new harness, it may not exactly match the diagram
because they may have taken a wire by a different path to achieve the same
result.  The additional wire on you fuse block may be for the wiper motor,
the connections for which are shown incorrectly on the diagram.

 

My two cents!

 

Mike.

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.

I'd start by finding which wire supplies the dome light, and track it back
to the power source.

I have been frustrated with a glitch with my re-wiring job.  This is a 59 ZB
with a new British Wiring harness. Regulator is the original, as are horn
and signal light relays. New flasher unit form Moss. Re-wired stator tube.
Most electrical functions seem correct, e.g. the heater fan motor, the
ignition, headlights.  However, when I turn on the key all four signal
lights flash, along with the dome light. I have checked connections to dash
panel and relays and can't find a problem. I have had trouble confirming
green wire continuity from fuse box to all connections. Finally, I have four
green wires at the fuse box, not the three illustrated on the ZA diagram I
have in my WSM.  

 

I need advice on how to troubleshoot this problem, everything I check seems
ok or doesn't make any sense. Rodger

Thanks John, this is huge undertaking, and I know we are all very
appreciative of your efforts!

No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.  Family and Employer 
have conspired to keep me from spending as much time on the wiring 
diagram as I had hoped.  Also, building a set of icons to use for the 
various components has taken more time than I thought.  The news is that 
I've completed building a single wiring diagram that has all of the 
options for the ZA, ZB, ZB Varitone both RHD and LHD.  It is being 
checked for accuracy and completeness so it should be ready to send out 
soon.
