I did some work this evening, I found the wires, it was just stuck
under the side panel. I cleaned the doorswitches, so now when I open
any of the doors, I get ground on the purple-white wire.
There is no battery on the purple wire. I replaced a suspect looking
connector at the rear, that did not help.
On the fusebox, there where 3 purple wires, one that according to the
manual goes to the ignition switch, one, that is used for the 'high
beam flash' ( we call it the light horn) I do not remember what it is
called in english. The third probably goes to the rear. But no +12V
there.
Is there any wires at the rear with +12V on it? I could cheat, and
become a future DPO ! Finnished work, tok the car for a drive, and now
its too late (11 PM) to look into diagrams.
Going to an autojumble on saturday. Its a bit like Christmas, birhtday
and easter on one day.
