morris major flasher unit wiring help needed

[jeff]

hey guys,

new here and i have a 1960 morris major elite (am hoping the wires are similar/same colour to a morris minor ) and the flasher can for the blinkers has been removed (was actually stolen) so wires are just flopping around and blinkers dont work
so if it was not too much trouble would one of you guys be able to have a look at one of your minors (unless you have a major) or can look it up on a wiring diagram and let me know which colour wire goes to which position on the flasher unit

mine has a yellow wire and red wire joined together that looks to go to 1 terminal
2 x light brown wires that go to another terminal
and finally a single wire which is either dark brown or black that goes to a third terminal

any help will be much appreciated, thanks

Hello Jeff and welcome,

You had better keep the Major under lock and key, otherwise you might come out one morning to find the front brakes and the rear end missing

I can't confirm if the Major is the same as the minor on the blinker setup, but someone who does will get to you with the details.

cheers
frosty

Heres a couple of links to lucas wiring colours based on the British Standard BS-AU7 http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Lucaswirecode.htm http://www.jcna.com/library/tech/tech0014.html http://www.ime.org.uk/ime/w/wiring_colour_codes.html

I found it very helpful when rewiring my LCV

Looking at the colour codes from the first link given by Grant, and the colours you have posted Jeff, it appears that it has been rewired.

cant confirm either way mate as plugs that go on flasher look very original and wiring doesnt look like its been messed with
really need a wiring diagram for my model i guess to at least follow wires and match that way
everything is helpful though
thanks guys

I recently acquired a 59 Morris major series II, looks to be in original condition, if it ever stops raining here and I can step outside I'll try and locate the flasher unit and let you know what I find.

my flasher unit looks to be mounted underneath the dash between the steering wheel and the drivers door on right hand side of cab

I may have an Elite handbook lurking about which may have a wireing diagram. I'll try and find it tonight-John

Jeff- found the remains of the handbook but no wiring diagram. I dont need it so you are welcome to it. just PM me with a postal address cheers-John

Had a quick look at the indicator switch and flasher. The leads to the indicator were blue, yellow and green. There were 6 (I think) leads into the flasher unit and they were yellow and red, didn't get time to track the 'spaghetti of leads' up the steering column.
