Hi,

I am building a custom (modern) wiring harness with many fuses, alternator, etc. I am trying to calculate the loads on each circuit, but to do so I need to know things like how many watts or amps for each lamp and all of the other components.

Does anyone have an on-line source for this sort of info? I have ordered a shop manual, but it is back-ordered. Not sure if it lists this anyway...

Cheers,

Steve

Ahhh ... yet another person labouring under the mis-aprehension that electricity is the activation of electrons and neutrons and stuff, therefore requiring the use of meters that are capable of measuring volt and amps etc.

There is only one measurement you need .... pressure.

You see, electricity is merely a by product of pressurised smoke. This is very easy to prove .... when a bulb filament fractures, it releases the high pressure smoke inside it end the lighbulb fills with smoke. Thats why blown bulbs are smokey.

The alternator is really a pump which takes the vehicle exhaust and pressurises it . The high pressure smoke is then fed to the different components. Started motors require a lot of smoke to turn them, hence they have big conduits. Bulbs are very clever, you have a reasonable size conduit going to the bulb, yet inside it there is an itty-bitty filament. This causes the pressurised smoke to be restricted and the friction of the (now even higher) pressurised smoke rubbing against the inside of the filament causes the filament to heat up and glow. When the big conduits leak, smoke is released and the result of this sis a loss of pressure in the smoke system, hence nothing then works.

Simple innit!
