Re: Re: Roof wiring: “Roof up” warning light

Thanks, Phil
(welcome back, stunning pictures!)

(woops, I just assumed the rest of the world has negative earth? … it sounds like you do)

I tested my “roof up” switch last night with an ohmmeter and it closes acceptably just using its metal-to-metal contact with the roof, without an additional ground wire. But can you tell me which white wire is used as +, and if it needs a splitter and new bullets (double plug) or if it’s something as simple as adding a wire with an eyelet to a screw?

Also, if you have a normal station wagon dome light, which I assume is switched at the dash, what cable powers the flourescent lights in the cutout, and how is this cable installed? I have an extra station wagon dome light I could install on the normal roof light switch, instead of my original plan to use this switch for the flourescent lights. It certainly would be practical.

If all the above is installed, that’s at least 3 wires going up the windscreen to the roof?!?

Thanks,
