WIRING AND FUSES
WIRING
The cables and wires lead the current from the battery or
generator to the various items of consumer equipment.
In order to protect the wiring and to reduce the risk of
shorting, the wires are gathered into harnesses wherever
possible, i.e. a number of individually insulated wires are
carried in an enc|05ing plastic sheath.
The harnesses are divided into two groups, one at the
dash panel and in the engine compartment, and one run-
ning to the rear part of the car. Provided that the wiring
is fitted in strict accordance with the different wiring dia-
grams reproduced further on, removal and installation of
wires and cables should not present any difficulties. The
individual wires and cables in each harness are color-mark-
ed for ready identification in accordance with the numb-
ers given.
The cable connections are made with AMP connectors
and thus require no soldering.
Make sure that all cables and wires are properly connected,
thus avoiding unnecessary voltage drops and flashovers.
Make sure that the wire from the horn button is routed
so that it will not get torn off when the steering wheel is
turned.
If frequent fuse burn out occurs, and if damaged insula-
tion is suspected, check the insulation of the harnesses
by testing. Bear in mind, however, that fuses will not burn
out if a short occurs before the fuse.
When installing new wiring, always check positively that
the rating of the selected wires and cables is adequate to
cope with the load involved, and make sure that the cables
are properly protected where they pass through panels
and at clamps.
FUSES
To protect wiring etc., from abnormal current intensities,
for instance in the event of a short circuit, and to reduce
the fire hazard involved by such occurrences, the electri-
cal system is provided with fuses, grouped in a block at-
tached to the R.H. side of the dash panel in the engine
compartment. In addition to the aforesaid fuses, there is
a 3 amp. fuse for the headlamp cleaning device. This fuse
is located in a special holder.
One of the fuses are intended for the protection of extra
eQuipment or as reserve.
All the components included in the electrical system ex-
cept the headlight (as from model 1969), instrument
IiSlhting and ignition system are fused. On the inside of
the fuse block cover is an identification text, showing
which items are protected by the individual fuses.

IMPO RTANT
When fitting a new fuse, take pains to secure good
contact. If wire fracture is suspected, check that the
fuse concerned makes good contact before taking
any further steps. Use a voltmeter for this check:
the maximum permissible voltage drop is 0.1 V.
