Butch Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I re-installed the wiring loom on my spit 1500 . when I hook up the battery all I get is a flashing oil light , if I turn the wipers on the jerk to the beat of the oil light , I've got tail lights when I turn the switch on but no lights in front. when I turn the key on the ign light does not come on and the oil light stays lit and doesn't flash. I'm in Rothwell (nn14) area if I could pay someone to come and help me. HELP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Butch, Go and have a cuppa, relax this can be sorted! I haven't got a magic answer, but you can work it out, we can help. First, how did you work out which wire goes where? Did you use a wiring diagram? And are the wires clean enough to read the colour code? Somehow, you have connected the output from their indicator flasher unit to the oil light and wipers! I'd disconnect everything, clean the wire ends so you can read the colours and go through it carefully to workout what goes where. The codes are the base colour of the insulation and the colour of the stripe (the 'trace') on that, in that order. Good luck! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I used the Haynes manual and I've cut back some of the tape to get a good look at the wire colours. everything looks right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 A possibility is the voltage stabiliser has been connected incorrectly, that could explain the flashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 if I turn the key on the fuel gauge works so it can't be the voltage stabiliser.....all the wiring looks right....certain wires will only reach so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Butch is this the harness that came off the car or a replacement ?? if you disconnect the oil switch does it extinguish the winker !!! is this a rhythmical flash like indicators.... can you hear any clicking ??? pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 it's a replacement loom...I haven't disconnected the oil switch and yes to the rhythmical flash as well as the wipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 My thoughts were that the oil pressure light, wipers etc may being fed via the voltage stabiliser, which actually achieves 10V by switching on/off. Try disconnecting it, see what happens. Got to be worth a try as a starting point, if only yo discount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
