Man, those horns take a lot of juice. That's about the total
output--25A, give or take--of a stock generator (maybe less at idle).
Anybody ever laid on the horns with the lights on?

<div>Nope. All wires were otherwise accounted-for; two were
'cross-colored.' The harness was brand new; I don't know of any
that supply extra wiring for separate turn signals, but I
haven't looked (would be a good idea, though).<br>

I feel your pain. My dad got a new harness for our BN2
(probably from Moss). I thought the harness was good
quality overall, and everything worked except the turn
signals. I spent 3 days double-checking everything; we
went so far as to open the relay box, but everything
looked good in there. I eventually discovered the wiring
to one of the rear brake/turn lights was mis-colored.
This really pissed me off, as I'd wired a bare chassis
just from the schematic and it would have been 100%
correct if not for the misidentified wire. I'll probably
never sell the car, but whoever ends up with it will be
confused, as a couple of wires are interchanged from the
schematic. Come to think of it, I should probably label
the flaw ... as soon as I finish all the other stuff
needs fixin'.<br>

Specifically, the fuse block and the voltage
regulator. Looking at a wiring diagram, the way
you see in the two pictures is mostly correct, but
look at what the arrows are pointing at. At the
point in the harness where the wires come out of
the loom for the fuse block, you can see on the
right hand side the arrow is pointing to a brown
wire with a green stripe. Good so far. Now look
what the arrow is pointing at on the other side of
the fuse block. It's a large solid brown wire.
Now in the wiring diagram this brown wire is
supposed to be a continuation of the brown with a
green stripe wire. That brown wire with the green
strip that was supposed to be there goes to the
"A" connection of the voltage regulator. Now look
at the picture of the voltage regulator and notice
what the orange arrow is pointing at. It is the
other end of the plain, large brown wire! The
electrical connections are correct. The color
coding of the harness is not. I have just started
wiring. What else might I find in the rest of the
harness? This harness was a gift from my late
friend Tom Rocke. It was one of many free parts
he supplied for this rebuild. Don't know if I
should complain about a free harness.</div>
