Has anyone looked at the Bentley Diagrams? My 77 is
truely different from all of yours...now.
What is the born on date of your 77? My 77 was Jan of
77 but had the electricals of the 75 Model (True
British have extra will use). There are distinct
variances between the years. On the 75 model (inside
behind the dash) there is a 12 wire junction as
opposed to a 6 wire junction found on the 76-79
models.
The Pektron box (black plastic box about 3"x6") goes
with this junction. This controls the buzzers and
cut-offs of the ignition, door alarm, seat belt
buzzer, non-buckled ignition cut off, as well as a few
other gadgets.
I can check my diagrams when I get home tonight if you
want. Just describe again what you are having trouble
determining. Unfortunately, I haven't been following
this thread very closely.
I've become pretty intimate with the wiring on my car
since I rewired the complete system to a 21 circuit 18
fuse system. <--(equates to A LOT of time cross
referencing the original diagram to the new setup).
Now that it's done, it's very simple to follow
circuits and/or trouble shoot.
