[T3] 1971 Fastback with Electrical issu

[Brion Sabbatino]

Patience is key in correcting electrical wiring issues. Do you have a multi - meter? If not obtain one and use how to it.

Utilizing the wiring diagram in the Bently, trace and ring out the ends of the wires. This will tell you where the other end goes to. Record it all on paper.

Think of each wire as a highway. Each wire leads to a destination.

When you know where the other end goes, you will be able to replace  the wires where they belong.

The no fuel pump relay being energized could be related to the key switch or c the fuse block fiasco.

The fix takes time.

Some time ago I wrote about headlight problems on this car.  I have had electrical issues with this car from the start.  I had to replace the headlight switch because it fell apart internally and I could not get the lights to work.  After I had everything back together the emergency flasher would not work, took it all apart again and replaced the emergency flasher switch.  In the meantime after dropping the fuse box to get to the switches some of the wires fell off the spades.  I have tried to put them back using the Bentley and now find myself in a mess.  Before I got this car someone had butchered the wiring on this car, the colors on the wiring don’t match what I find in the Bentley and I have put some wires in the wrong place because now I have no emergency flasher, or turn signals, ect.  Looking for some advice and recommendations on how to proceed in getting everything back in order so things will work.  After several days I am beginning to feel like I am losing the battle.  Help will be appreciated!  Thank You!  Also the fuel pump relays have quit working?
