The wiring gremlin saga continues...
Just installed the marker lamps , the front park lamps, rear taillight assemblies and the rear ID lamp. Everything works with the exception of the front park lamps and the front marker lamps.
Here we go again!
Traced the wiring to the front circuit via the terminal on the headlamp switch that feeds power to both front and rear circuits, all ok, Then traced circuit from headlamp switch to bulkhead connector, all ok so no broken wiring, bad connections etc.. Moved to engine compartment and checked all the wiring harness to the park lamps , again, no breaks, shorts. I powered up the park lamps using a 12 volt source so eliminated bad ground . Totally stumped so I got the original engine compartment wiring harness and compared the wiring in the connector to the new M&H wiring harness I bought from Year One.
Bingo!! The connector was wired completely different that the original. I redone the new M&H connector to the configuration of the old unit and re-installed. Everything now works perfectly!!
Moral of this story.
1. Don't assume because its new that it is correct.
2. Don't throw anything original away until you have finished your restoration.
3. Even the good suppliers Fu%K up so check everything before you install it. I could have just as easily lost my car to a wiring fire given the right circumstances with new wiring harness assembly errors.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
