Awesome. Let me check the wiper motor on Friday

[the Brain]

Check also if you got the socket for the ashtray lamp on the right side of it.

[xpbernardo]

OK! Wiper motor started working. Overhauled the switch and things came back to life
No light socket on ashtray, but light on the glovebox and trunk would be nice: in the trunk I have the open close switch mounted but no light assy
Mercury switch on the hood light is also dead.

[the Brain]

Open close switch and light assy is one piece. You have a picture for me?

[xpbernardo]

Didn´t get the chance but it´s exactly like the one in the picture.
Remember our conversation about the MIXO horns and the relay? Manage to find on schematics of a relay just like mine. It´s for a 6V but dor the matter that doesn´t make any difference. The connections are exactly the same. Did everything like the picture but when I give ignition to the car the horns stay on . Without ignition the horns beeps when I press the steering whell buttons and the battery light blinks and the TEMP pointer kicks
If I give direct + and - to the horns thay work perfectly...

[the Brain]

Strike! Let the horns smoke...

That's not what I meant, the ashtray insert is always the same. It's about the holder on the passenger side.

Under the red insulating tape is the screw and the second picture shows the opening for the lamp socket. This is the back . There is a dent in the sheet metal with a hole where the holder is screwed on.

This is the entire lighting system. You can see the holder that is still present on your Z-igniter.

[xpbernardo]

I have the yellow one ( lighter) . Don´t have the red ones ( ashtray and glovebox) or the harness with the bulbs.
I have the trunk switch but not the bulb

[the Brain]

Trunk lighting from VIN. But check again where the hole for it is in your vehicle. It's a round hole on the left near the rubber bumper.

[xpbernardo]

Yes I have that to install after all in the trunk. The manual states a different part but I have that one

[the Brain]

You need one or you have one?
The manuell shows the first Version i suppose. The output maybe earlier than your Unit.

[xpbernardo]

The trunk I have just like the one in your picture.
Don't have the glove box and the bulbs harness.

The mercury switch on the hood is also dead

The problem is the original horn is switched by ground <earth> and this one is switched by positive current.
IF your relais has exactly the schematic you show us, you could just interchange the wires '1' and '3' and all would be fine.

Already solved. There was an earth cable badly connected. The one that connects the engine block to the body. Once cleaned and retorqued and horns started behaving normally

[xpbernardo]

So......
Testing rim came with ET20. Everything perfect.
No touching in the front. Still looking original without the wheels coming to far out. Manage to give a little more depth to the rim.
5 going to final painting with to tone grey and black. Also chrome rings should arrive next week.

Meanwhile...Solex completly overhauled with new kit and cleaning and fitted
