I have been doing more electrics.
Worked out why hazards and fag lighter stopped working over the weekend - 10A fuse :doh:
Working my way all over the 90 - previous owners / whatever seem to have snipped wires at random, left them lying about. I started with the battery and moved into the engine bay at first. Example being I had a red wire terminated on the battery going some where. WTF is this? - turned out nothing, just was clipped off in the engine bay. Ah, good prospect for a short.
I am also seeing ****e cable joins. Attached image a good example of the state in the 90 (well if I could drive this fully automatic camera it would be: rear near side light wireing); Top - joins of twisted bare copper wrapped in insulation tape, Middle - number plate light feed fell out when I touched it, Bottom - showing cables clipped and left lying loose with no end protection (believe me end protection can be important - I have a daughter to show for the fact).
>>>START RANT<<<

DO NOT get me started on the soldering.
If you are going to solder on a 90 that one day will be mine then at least go on a training course and learn how to solder propperly.
Blobby
Dry
On verdigris
More - RANT
When doing electrics when you have finished I do not want to see any bare copper or bare metals of connectors.
OK
