The brown/white wire comes from the Hi beam relay (12v)and when you lift up the stalk ,contacts ground out the relay so it latches over to change over hi beam ,when you do it again it latches back to the low beam .This only happens when the head lights are switched on , when you lift up the...

That's a bit worrying if the steering lock is trying to engage on these vehicles ,my original shaft and the replacement that I received for the damaged one were in good condition , no damage to the slot .The barrel/steering lock is the type with one grub screw retaining it (1970) ,I had the lock...

Thanks I didn't know about voltage regulator , that makes sense .As the wife and I got bus for touring in when its finished , it's been a learning curve .I was a mk1 golf man so all gauges where more modern hot wire or voltage balanced ones . The regulator would keep the voltage at a constant 10...

Hi , just read my previous , brown / red is the earth out through the tank sender , ignition feed is normally black (15) on wiring diagrams. After looking them up , late bay buses have a float on an arm that moves the variable resistor by turning it ,so work differently . I have fitted an access...

Hi , I know I'm a bit late on this but have just completely rewired my bus so have got it in my head at moment .The fuel gauge is basically a volt meter that requires an ignition feed ( 12volts ) brown/red and an earth out through the fuel tank sender ( variable resistor ) . The resistance range...
