Hi guys

 

on my 77 mini (which I'm pretty sure came with the centre dash layout) the previous owner has botched a conversion to the 3 dials on the side, which I like, but the wiring hasn't really been done.. err.. at all? All the wires are everywhere and I don't know what does what.

 

Has anyone converted one before or does anyone know where I can find the wiring diagrams I need to wire it all back up.

 

I'm saying this mainly as my battery light doesn't work and thats probably why my battery doesn't charge

 

 

Help guys?

 

 

Cheers!!

Have you tried the Haynes manual?

Yep, the Haynes has everything you need really. Dash wiring is pretty simple, it's really just a case of matching colours to functions.

 

If you're repairing someone's bodge, don't re-bodge it. If you had any plans to use choc-blocks or scotch-locks, forget it now - go buy a soldering iron and some shrinkwrap.

If the bulb has gone or the dicky wiring has disconnected it this is likely true.

Give me a shout and I'll make you something to make everything work and for you to patch into your car safely.

 

I can even supply heathshrink tubes with solder inside so all you do is warm them up - the solder melts and it also makes a watertight seal. Easy especially if you aren't keen on soldering etc.
