Wiring Diagrams 1900 OnThe Central Electrical Tray is located under the left hand side ofthe dash. The tray is hinged toward the front of the car and latchedtoward the rear. A loop and knob secure the tray. Remove the loopand the tray will swing down to expose the components.If your car has the Central Electrical Tray and the original versionof the dashboard, use the diagrams for car number 1041 to 1899.If your car has the Central Electrical Tray and the new version ofthe dashboard, use the diagrams for car number 1900 on.The primary changes in wiring for cars from 1900 on are: Changes to Central Fuse Tray layouto Main fuse type and locationo Fuse Box layouto Dash dimmer moved to dimmer on switch Later style dash layout with changes to switchgear and controlsand heating and ventilation. See the new versions of theDashboard Layout, pages 23 and 25.o The manual cooling fan switch is standard. The wiring forthe electric fuel pump is provided but not connected.o Electric windscreen washero Dash light dimmer with Off positiono Three speed heater blower with rotary switcho Heater/de-mister control via rotary switch Change from bulb type to sealed beam type headlights. Side marker wiring. Extra wiring for Australian cars - seatbelt warning, centerstop light, side markers, emergency flashers. Several changes in wire colorsPage 169
