Michael,
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'.

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

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

brown wire with the green strip that was supposed to be there

The color coding of the harness is not. I have just started

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>
