Hi
Does anyone have or know where I might get wiring diagram for a Mk1 Ducato / Talbot Express / Citroen J5 ?
Mines a 1985 2.0 petrol _ I have a diagram for a 1991 but its not the same.

My problem is that since I bought the van the head (dip &main) lights have been wired to a domestic light switch stuck to the dash! Both relays have been removed. The side & tail lamps work off the proper switch as does the fog lamp.

If I knew why this was done it might be easier to fix!
I've started on the problem & I've found that there's no lives, either perminant or switched to the relays.
Does anyone know if the perminant live feed to the relays is the one coming off the white splitter box behind the battery?

Any advice welcome.
Tearing hair out & thinking about hiring a sparky!
 
If I were you,I'd buy two relays,wire the live through the proper light switch on the dash to them.
Then run the earth from the batt to the - side of the batt.
Don't forget to fuse the permanent live from the batt.
 
You put the positive load through the relay not the switch.
You'll need to cut and solder the new cables to the headlight connectors.
I'm having problems with mine at the mo,so I'm going to make a new fuse box for the lights.

I've got it mostly sorted now. New feed made for relays & I've diagnosed that the headlight switch in the dash is US !
Anyone know where I can get a light switch?
Lots of questions asked on eBay :(
 
Hi Gareth, could you please send me the wiring diagram that you have. Mines a 1989 and I'm having similar problems and loads of other wiring problems. Cheers
