Td5 D2 electrics - Hand Drawn Schematics.

Nothing like getting some ideas down on a bit of paper. It can focus the mind and aid the decision making process. Sounds grand even though it really is just scribbles on loose scraps of paper! 

And those scraps of paper then get lost or discarded when they could be referenced later on..

So, before that happens, here is the current crop of ideas written on the back of envelopes...

This was done last year when the foot-well lighting was installed. I went looking for it the other month when I was installing the extra door lights and was really happy to find it!

It shows how the supply from the vehicle loom passes through the installed dash dimmer (rheostat) before supplying the footwell lights.


This is for the recent addition of offside door lights. The supply lines at the top left are from the Rheostat on the previous schematic. 'J1' and 'J2' are the new plug and play connectors which are a lot smarter then using choc-blocs.


This schematic is for the recent addition of the nearside front door lights. The supply is taken from the nearside foot-well lighting. 'J1' and 'J2' are the new two way connectors, one of which is shown bottom right.

The three schematics above are all related and proved invaluable when connecting things up. I was able to carry out some wiring away from Hx and be confident it would fit right in..
