Ian Cooper Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'm fitting the rear harness to my GT6 but as I didn't remove the harness I have a question regarding the additional RED and BLACK wires which appear to sit behind the rear wings. I can identify the rear, stop and tail, indicators, numberplate and reverse light wiring but I can't identify the RED and BLACK wires mentioned above, are these for export models with side repeaters?? If anyone can shed some light or point me in the direction of a harness diagram (not the manual schematic) I'd be very grateful. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I wonder is it a genuine GT6 harness or an adapted Spitfire one? Some Spitfires had a rear light dimming mechanism inside the rear wing, and it may be the connections for that (I can't find the cable colours at present), but the USA cars with side markers had a red wire running to those lights, with presumably a black earth - if there's one on each side then that's the purpose.

dougbgt6 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Ian, Sorry, a manual schematic! But in glorious technicolour. This is a USA Spitfire with front and rear "side markers" which seems to suggest you are correct. The GT6 also had a night dimming relay, but best got rid off these days.

thescrapman Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 A red wire will be sidelights of some description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
