    Stag Interior Lights

    Hi

    I have just joined the forum and hope some of you experienced Stag owners can help me out.

    I am helping a friend to restore a 1978 Stag (MKII?), and we have got the bodywork, engine, etc all sorted, but I have a question re the interior lighting ("Puddle" lights and "Console" lights.

    The car was completely dismantled for restoration, and the wiring was sadly not marked up or kept in any sort of order. I have worked through most of it and got it working, but am struggling with the interior lighting that comes on when you open the drivers or passenger doors.

    The issue is every wiring diagram we have (workshop manual, online wiring diagrams, etc) all show that the +12v to these lamps comes from either the manual interior switch, OR from a double contact switch on the doors (i.e, when the door is opened, +12v is passed through the door switch to power the lamps)

    The problem we have is that the door switches on this car are single terminal types that connect to earth when the door is opened, and there is only a single cable to the switch, and NOT the double contact switch and two cables shown in the manuals.

    This would mean that every one of the interior lights would have a -0v from the light to door to make a circuit when the door is opened, but there isn't.

    Has anyone seen this before or have any experience of this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Mine has a single wire to the door switch which earths when the door is open. The cable is purple/slate (looks like violet/white). It's a 1974 LHD Mk2. Wiring diagram drawn by myself is on my website (see my profile for address)

      Welcome .

      Have a look in the Technical Section on here under Electrical. There's a good post by Julian Leyton "Interior Lighting - An Explanation" on P2. Also, on P1, there's a detailed wiring diagram with plugs/ sockets.
      White 1976 build ("Mk2") only a few mods

        as a trial user, can Kerry see the technical section StagJonno ?

        here is a link to the online wiring diagram from Grampian stags - http://grampianstags.net/wiring.htm which you can download and zoom in on - damned useful for me who used to have 20/20 vision but am getting older now.

        Mk2 stags earth through the door switches so the circuit is quite simple. the biggest* complication is the interior light switch on the centre console

        I have also taken the time to download the only mk2 diagram for interior lights and have attached it here , the resolution is not great even when downloaded and zoomed in on, dasadrew do we have a higher res image ?

            While we are at it dasadrew why does SOC forum reserve this info for members only? surely it should be shared as Grampian stag gents do

              Can't answer that one. All the info I have is on my website. Must get around to uploading more. Is the technical section only viewable by members?

                      Small tip :-
                      take the time to clean up the contacts inside the switch.

                        This should be a slightly higher resolution:

                              We have bought a new switch as the original was a bit iffy1
