Thanks.
I had a look at a few of the things in that thread.
A previous owner changed the inline fuses behind the air box to blade fuses in my car.
All blade fuses are fine.
The traditional glass tube fuses tucked up behind and to the right of the pedal box mechanism are also fine.
The inertia switch is fine (continuity established, ie power can go in and out).
It started getting dark, but this is where I got mixed results (mixed to me, that is)....
There are two wires going into the inertia switch connector in the engine bay.
One is a mucky cream colour
The other looks brown
There are two wires going into the connector at the top of the fuel tank in the boot
One is a mucky cream colour
The other is black
It's not the same colour as the wire at the inertia switch
With a multi-meter, I established that there's connectivity between the cream wire at the inertia switch and the cream wire at the connector at the top of the fuel tank.
But....
also with the multi-meter, running a trace wire from the brown (ish) wire at the inertia switch and the black wire at the connector at the top of the fuel tank....no connectivity
Questions:
Am I looking for connectivity where there won't be / shouldn't be any?
Or, have I perhaps found a problem? Possibly THE problem?
Despite the lack of continuity of colour
I know there's more to test / look into, but I wondered if anyone could explain the brown / black / no continuity I've found?
or point out what I'm doing wrong (usually plenty)?
Thanks
