Vitesse Lighting Wiring - two feeds?

[Steve Brown]

Hi,

 

Nearly completed the restoration of my Vitesse, new wiring loom included.

 

I've carried out one or two additions and modifications to the wiring and have set about updating my wiring diagram, so I don't forget what I've done later on........

 

Just noticed that there are two 12v feeds to the lighting system and can't work out why that would be.

 

There is one feed to the dashboard master light switch from the control box and one to the column switch from the fuse box

If I take either off, the lights still work (halogens fed by relays before you think I'm trying to burn out the thin wiring..)

 

Any ideas?

 

Also seems a bit daft that on the original, one is fused the other isn't

 

Thanks

without knowing just what vitesse you have this is probably the link to operate the headlamp flashers,,    not all have this.. mainly Mk2

Hi Pete,

 

Mine is a 1969 Vitesse Mk2, probably makes sense that its for the full beam flash, still scary that originally there were no fuses in the 2nd circuit. Mine now has plenty, all I need to do now is remember which fuse services which circuit. :-)

 

Thanks

Steve
