To be correct there is not a black/white wire in a Austin Healey
wiring harness. The wire actually is White/ Black you always call the
main color first since that color is telling you the source of the
power on that wire. The white is hot all not fused when the key is
on, and the black tracer is telling you it is going to ground.
Disconnecting the white/black wire at the turn off switch will not
fix the problem is under the car. So the best way is to disconnect it
behind the rear carb where the rear harness attaches to the main
harness. This way if the wire is shorted on one of the harness clips
under the car you are eliminating that problem.
