Where to start?
My Tiger Avon has an electrical nightmare under the dash. What books would you all recommend to assist me with resolving the mass amount of loose
connections, poor earths and tangled cables? Some of them show no sign what soever as to where they are meant to go or indeed, their intended purpose.
I may just start again as some of the wiring there is so needless! I've got heater wires for a heater that doesn't exist and when I press
my hazard switch my rev gauge starts fluctuating (doesn't work 99.9% of the time).
It'll get sorted it's just a headache (especially when you have limited knowledge on wiring)!
Thanks in advance!

only really two options:
1 - sit and trace all the wires, work out where they are meant to go correct it and remove the redundant bits as you go....
or 2 - rip it all out and start from scratch

I think I'm just going to start again but keep the ignition and immobilizer as be because they work fine. Cheers!

Hey, I sat down with the loom off my donor and trimmed out the redundancy and shortened the cables. Took forever, but its quite satisfying. Its left
me with a strangely intimate knowledge of my wiring loom.

I can imagine. I'd sooner spend the time and get it right as there is no point rushing it.

there is on here an article on how to rewire a car the easy way, written by myself. i am aware that several folks have used it and had an easy time of
it. it would be easy to make it tidier, it was never my intention to make it to hard to do. just functional.

basically do it from scratch and solve all your problems in one go it is really easy to do.
sometimes you are the pigeon, most of the time the statue.
