Wipac Light switch wiring

Ulrich, The wires are not soldered to the terminals of the light switch. The wires from the loom terminate in a connecting block which is a push fit unto the terminals of the Wipac switch. I don't know where you can get this terminal block (you need two of them -one for the ignition switch as well). Al Osborn is your best bet.

Superb wiring diagram-both the TR original and your amended version. I hadn't seen it before.

Ulrich, according to my notes of 25 years ago i numbered the pins 1 to 9. The wiring on the light switch is ;

1 feed to headlight dip switch

2 tail light and speedo light

3 pilot light

4 disconnect- was orange wire from alternator

5 yellow wire link to ignition switch- not needed by you.

6 resistance wire - not needed by you.

7 link wire to terminal 1

8 live feed from battery (ignition switch in your diagram)

9 live feed from battery (ignition switch in your diagram)

My notes don't show which pin I numbered as 1 but looking at the picture of your Wipac switch the soldered on leads would probably be pins 7,8,and 9. but test first on a meter unless someone can come up with a better description.

Have you tested your switches? Wipac switches are deceptive as they can click quite nicely and give the impression of working. I have found that in many cases they often don't work because of corrosion on the inside of the switch.
