Mate..got no where with this mod.....
actually got sidetracked by the photos of the Melb. Pelican Run
- I've travelled GOR so many times I reckon I could drive it with my eyes closed (well maybe not!!) but I have travelled it with four different motorbikes, 2 four wheel drives, a Magna, a HJ surf/shaggin wagon, a mountain bike, a road race bike......I digress
You may have seen in an earlier thread I was having problems with hot wires in my 87.
So I have to slowly follow all the wiring around the car trying to find the sources of several gremlins.
First I found (with help of guys here) that some of my fuses were corroded, next an air con blower was causing resistance leading to real hot wires, the cab top won't lock down on the passenger side, I lost a left headlight and left licence plate light AND.......... I the car has just fallen out of insurance due to a 300% increase
I've also got a big order to place with Wayne but I've had to wait six weeks for a lump sum payment from work (Bonus).
Anyhow back to your question...sorry...
Theres a white/red wire running from the speedo to the convertible top control unit (post 1) and a red/yellow from the speedo to the indicator lamp. These will be my two guesses of wires to skip out of the system, but I think I need an electrician to look at the wiring diagram in the Bentley to confirm my thoughts. Theres' also a red/yelow wire going from the indicator lamp to the toggle switch for the top retraction which might have some part to play!
So there you have it. I think they're the only choices to work on.
Other problem holding me back is the damn heat (humidity) an typhoons coming thru here. I have a carport not a garage so its not too inviting working under the dash at the moment.
Right now I wish I was driving GOR with you guys. Insanely jealous. I'll keep you posted - maybe by pm.
Cheers
Mark
