...sure it's purple with green (as opposed to green with purple?) the British
Standard doesn't list a function for the former. The latter is for stop lamps

Subject: [Healeys] Wiring question
After removing the CAB and carbs for rebuilding I noticed an unconnected wire
and an open terminal on the electrical lighting/flasher box. The wire is
purple/green and the terminal is the topmost one on the rear side of the
box--there is no no wire going to this terminal. The wire comes out of a small
sub-harness along with a yellow/brown and green/yellow wire, both of which are
connected to terminals on the rear side of the box.
The only significant change from stock wiring is that I have electrified the
rear reflector pods and use them for turn flashers instead of having the one
light handling side/brake/turn functions, but I cannot see that this correlates
with having an open, disconnected wire at the control box end.
The screw to the open terminal was loose, leading me to believe that the wire
in question was connected to it, but since all of my flashers, side and brake
lights are functional I thought I should try to find out the wire's function
before reconnecting it.
Best--Michael Oritt
