Hugh,
My Bentley book shows a green wire from the "green" junction(via the seat
belt gear box switch)to the switch and the Green/Brown to the two back-up
lights. Bullet connectors are shown on each side to the switch. From
looking at the book and then under the dash/in back of mine I think these
mean the "hard" splices that are spinkled around the car. They may also
indicate the major cable connectors located behind the drivers side kick
panel. These are the connectors that seperate the "front" from the "back"
wire harnesses.
If you want me to look I'll pull my panel and check out the connections.
One tip I'll pass on is to replace all of the "bullet" splices. I found
everyone of mine were either physically brokens or just corroded so bad that
there was no connection

Subject: Circle-X on a schematic
My project today was to get my TR6 reverse lamps working. As happens every
time I get involved with the electrics, I found a bunch of jerry-rigged
wiring left by one of the DPOs. I also found the switch was bad, so I'll be
ordering a replacement.
I went on to test the lights by shorting the leads to the switch together.
My test light shows voltage up to the bullet connector union just outside of
the gearbox cover. No voltage back at the lamps however. So, I've got a
problem.
On the car, it looks like the green/brown wire goes into the harness and
comes back out the other end with no further connections. On the Bentley TR6
schematic, there is a rectangle, then a circle-X symbol just before the
lamps. I think the rectangle is the bullet connector union. Can anybody tell
me what the circle-x is? Maybe this is the failed component.
Thanks,
Hugh Fader
