This is what happens when I don't have enough to do at work.

 

I was looking at the wire diagram that covers my Mini and everything seemed too crowded on the page. I decided to redraw it in a bigger format so I could spread things out a bit. I thought I would go a head and share it with anyone who might like to use it. If you zoom in on things it's very readable. If anyone notices any errors please let me know so I can fix them.

 

 

Edit 1: spelling corrected

 

Edit 2: corrected position of LH Turn Signals

           added cable colour code

 

Edit 3: added fuse block terminal numbers

           added fuse amperage ratings

There always seemed to one anomaly on Haynes diagram 18 that I could never get my head around. On the headlight dip switch, the common is shown as the top connector (BL) so that in the operated position the headlights would be connected to the rear fog lights with neither receiving any power, even with the headlight switch on. I always thought it must be a misprint and that the common should be the bottom right terminal (BL/BR) to get all the systems to work correctly. Or maybe I just need to go to Specsavers.

That's interesting. I wonder if it looks that way on the Rover diagram.

I have noticed other errors on Haynes wiring diagrams on the Mini and other cars. It can cause hours of head scratching until it dawns that you cannot trust the diagram. For example on the Mini diagram 16, there are two number 11, which is the left hand sidelight. Also 8 (headlight main beam) and 7 (headlight dip beam) are connected together, as well as 7 (the other headlight dip beam) and 11 ("one" of the left hand sidelights). If you have a fault in this area, it could really make your head spin.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Rover diagram, but top marks for translating it into PDF form, very handy.

I'm working on the Rover version of the PDF I posted here. I have the PDF of the Rover manual.

I'd be interested in viewing the Rover version, if possible, just to see how far back the errors go. I'm assuming that the Rover version is the original, but this may not be correct.

Here is the Rover 1988-ON wiring diagram from AKM 6353. It's the first rail type diagram in the manual. I redrew it to make it more readable then the one in the repair manual PDF. Let me know if you see any errors so I can fix them.
