GT6 MK3 Interior Light switches

[jimmyrjm]

Hi guys,

 

I am In need of some help with the electrics on my 72 GT6 MK3, I have soldered one side of the interior light switches, however when I went to solder the other one the RH drivers side interior light switch there were 2 purple and white wires which are identical.. I was just wondering what I should do? Should I connect one and snip the other one? why is there 2??

 

If anyone can provide me with some help that would be much appreciated. I have attached pics below.

 

Ps im not good with electrics

 

Kind regards,

 

Jim.

I expect the one with the two wires has a feed to itself (one wire) and a supply to the other switch (the other wire).  Not got a mk 3 wiring diagram but I expect that's what its will show.

the wire to the door switch is an earth for the  interior  lamps   these are often  linked to join multiple door switches to multiple lights 

the lamps have a purple  + feed and purple white   - earth lead to the door switch

There are four switches, l/h door, r/h door, boot and dashboard. There are two lights, interior and ignition key. They are all connected together by purple and white, so it makes sense to loop p/w on where possible, rather than have five connections to one point. So I think the interior light loops on to the boot switch and the r/h door switch loops on to the ignition key light. Then there are three connections to the dashboard switch, l/h door, r/h door and interior light?

The ignition key light on my GT6 just dangles on its wire.

 

Should it be attached to something?

Yeh, mine too!  

 

There is a hole for it but it's one of those jobs you never get around to, along with the trip reset wire knob!
