Fuse panel connections - and now taillight fun



Thanx Chuck and Dan.  I see the G1 H6 stuff now, I'm actually using Kirsten's Current flow diagram (http://www.funksoulkitty.org/technicaldata/technicaldata.htm) for a '79, which seems (so far!) to be on target with my '81.  But some of the wiring has been .... creative.  I have also been trying to figure out what is wrong with the taillights, and the wiring back there was an abomination. There was even phone cable!!!!! spliced in back there and I have no idea why.  Also lots of fiberglass insulation (household stuff) stuffed in every nook and cranny.  I hate that crap. 

So far on the taillights- bulbs replaced.  Brake and turn signals work.  No taillights though.  When I turn on the switch, I get -12v through the fuse location- is that right?

Also a CIS fun update.  The CIS-basic unit that I bought had a stuck plunger in it.  And in the process of trying to get it out, I shattered the end of the metering barrel with too much force on the vicegrips.  :P  On a side note, the plunger is a very hard metal and after I had given up on being gentle, I had vicegrips torqued down hard enough to flatten the teeth on them and it did not even scratch the plunger. !!  I had to remove the 8 torx bolts and separate the CIS unit to pull out the barrel.  If you've never seen the inside of a CIS unit, it's pretty neat.  The machining tolerances are amazing and surprisingly enough it was very clean inside.  The metering barrel looks like some sort of spaceship part.  :P  So what to do.  I pulled apart my existing CIS-E unit to see if the barrels are similar.  While CIS-E functions in a similar way to CIS, and they look the same on the outside, (other than being aluminum) they are built VERY differently on the
 inside.  Little springs, caps, plates, a gasket, and stuff everywhere once you pop them apart.  But the metering barrel is almost identical.  Since CIS-E does not use a CPR, the top of the barrel had a pressed-in cap, a quick tap on a bolt with a hammer and it popped off.  The plunger from the old CIS fit the new barrel quite nicely and in a few minutes, I had a CIS-E barrel installed in a CIS-basic head with the CIS-basic plunger.  I have installed the head on the cleaned-up CIS-basic metering plate, which is the same diameter as the CIS-E version but has 3 angles cut in the tapered bit, where the CIS-E had a much narrower single angle.  I have not put fuel pressure to it yet but it will be interesting to see what happens.  It has been a fun experiment so far though.  :)

Thanks again for the wiring info.

Brendan

Most of them aren't used, maybe only 3 or 4 IIRC, but you can locate them on the schematic as "G" or "H" connectors. Such as G1 or H6 or whatever.

Checking all of my fuse panel connections to make sense of a nicely hacked up wiring job.  What connections on the back of the fuse panel go to where?   Most of the actual fuses and relays seem to be where they are supposed to be, but the accessory relays and the connections on the back have me puzzled.  I have good diagrams of the front connections and the voltage flow paths but cannot seem to locate any information on the dozen or so spade connections on the back of the panel.  This is a Mk1 Scirocco, and the fuse panel seems "correct".  Thanks!

 Brendan
