Hi Tim

Looks like a nice car with a few goodies.

unidentified plug 2
Its hard to see in the picture put the two pin plug looks like it is also connected to the dimming resistor so should go to dash dimming switch.

unidentified plugs one and three certainly look like the hazard and two speed fan heater switch plugs but it looks like the harness has had a few mods may have do a little more investigation just can't remember off hand which one is which.

yeah - i am with Timw

i have only yesterday played with the wiring in my mk2 because of the dimmer / dash lights not working

the 2 hole plug is for dimmer switch
the 3 hole plug is for 2 - way switches - perhaps fan, or heater

Thanks guys, helps me out.

Been working so much lately that I haven't had a chance to tackle the wiring, but I have made some progress on the heater boxes. I have both of them apart, ready to rub back, prime, paint, and resurface the deflector plates. I've also made up a few replacement resistor packs for the low speed fan setting, to replace the deteriorated factory ones. I'll put some pictures up soon!

Both heater cores will be taken to a radiator shop and get them restored, I am assuming both leak where the entry and exit pipes are, but both need a proper clean regardless!

Juiceman,
thanks for the great info on the door cards mate-i might have a crack at doing one myself
all the uk boys seem to have this type-wonder who does them over there???-they look much better than our aussie type

(sorry Timmeh)[:p]

thanks
Ben

No problems, I'm learning as much as anyone else when people ask questions and Josh answers them!

Thanks mate, still got alot of work to go though.

Made up some resistor packs to replace the old rusty broken ones in the heater boxes, they slide into the same cavity and plug into the same connectors.

After a month or more of being totally sidetracked by work projects, got back to business on the Escort.

Brakes master cylinder was restored, repainted the booster which had lots of brake fluid on it, and bled the brakes with new fluid. They feel alright now, nice and firm!







At least it gets the car back on the road so I can enjoy it.

Also got the heater core restored so it can go in for rego. Need to rub down and respray the deflector plates and it'll be good to reassemble.

Joblist
Clean up the electrics
Assemble the heater box and install
Respray the blacks on the car
Install the electronic ignition kit
Move the gauges to the stereo location in the centre console
Install a stereo into the glovebox and complete the speaker install
Repair/replace window winder on LH front door
Give the car the Meguiars treatment head to toe
Replace or cycle the battery

No doubt there are many more small jobs but they are the main ones to address. At least work has dropped enough to have time to spend on it, summer is great!

[8~2] I miss it still so much!

Nice to see some more progress Timmeh
