Hey bloke dont despair, what do you need to get working ?

beddie brother warren let the cat out of the bag with his most recent post 'What have you been up to on the weekend'

so to fill you in ... we worked extra vigintly on the beddie wiring till late saturday and all day Sunday and nearly nearly had the problems sussed, then about 4.00 p.m.,  there was a little POP sound followed by a worrying cloud of blue smoke and unmistakable smell of burning electrics  that set us back quite abit, Not to worry, tis better that shite happens at home rather than on the road so no dramas. This arvo after work Warren came around and we sussed out the problem. the ballast resistor that feeds the main line from the alternator was perished, what a relief      we also realised that the wiring looms in the engine bay is totally different to the original wiring loom in the cabin, we also found that there are four active links into the right side indicator  so we will remain with elec problems until sorted down the track

what we found was that the colour coded wires of the new loom did not in any way match successfully with the original loom inthe cabin, so it may well  be that later model vans have different or updated versions of the electrics looms . oh and to reiterate the cause of the POP .... don't rest the fuse box near the accelerator pedal if your pedal is not covered with a rubber pad   

so we have made a few little changes to enable us to have the basic electrical requirements its gonna be ultra tight that the tow van is ready by Monday next week but I will soldier on regardless. A HUGE THANK YOU to Warren for all his help !!!!!! thanks brother I learnt heaps from you again  I still have a big list of jobs before the van can face up to a roadworthy and one of those jobs was to take pics during the work , sorry I didn't get to doing that got focused on getting the job done and missed out again

I think we're all starting to wonder if there really is a tow beddie - all this work and no pics - you gotta snap some shots bloke, feed our hunger, satisfy our cravings - there can never be enough pics!!!

OK, there is a tow beddy, and if you look real close you can see Eddy adjusting the passanger side front brakes
