Jeez, where do I start?

I'm starting to regret doing this......

None of the wiring under the old console was labelled, even less was fused but having removed the majority of the old console and surround, I've now got to untangle this mess.

Out of the whole mess, I labelled and fused five cables.

You’ve started… better finish now I am sure you’ll decide that it was worth it!

Better and more satisfying than a jigsaw puzzle at home ?

Tackle what needs tackled, label anything you trace, remove anything redundant, leave the rest for another day. After a few goes like that it will start to thin out and become more manageable.

The original wiring on mine was pretty good although not labelled. Add in a replacement engine and some nav gear all spurred in strange ways and it becomes complicated. My screenwipers involved turning on three switches to activate!

Go on……. Why on 3,switches needed for the wipers? 1 for power? One to send power to wipers? One to activate wipers?

To quote Dylan Thomas

To begin at the beginning:

It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobble streets silent and the hunched, courters’ and rabbits’ wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea. The houses are blind as moles (though moles see fine tonight in the snouting, velvet dingles) or blind as Captain Cat there in the muffled middle by the pump and town clock, the shops in mourning, the Welfare Hall in widows’ weeds. And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are sleeping now

One is a new rotary 2 position switch which allows the wipers to "self park". The other two are conventional on/off switches. No idea why two, I do get that the third rotary switch needs the continuous live feed to park the wipers.

The point is that a bit of time and tracing allows some unnecessary wiring to be removed.
