The 3rd April past without fanfare.
I forgot.
Twenty years Jamima has been off the road. But she is getting closer to the next self-propelled journey.
This week I have been finishing off the wiring. Despite a new loom, it has needed many modifications. An Ammeter was fitted, an interior light, door switch and a cigarette lighter (destined to be a charging socket). The super loud, twin horns, were also fitted and the plunger screen washer wired up with new "hidden" switch which operate the washer and starts the wipers Almost like a new car.
Then, I thought would be a good time to test it all. I plugged a battery charger and connected to earth and solenoid and switched on.
No smoke, no bangs or pops.
The lights worked, indicators were a bit "buzzy", the wipers wouldn't stop but so far so good. A new flasher relay fixed the indicators (and an earth lead on the left rear). Adjusting the wiring of the wiper switch sorted the wiper - after blowing several fuses when I got it wrong. The toad powerkey light flashed and the system armed when the key was near the spot. But the solenoid refused to click.
Another dud.
