A little bit more progress has been made on the wiring hookups for the Wire3 box. I’ve been working on making up the various wires that connect to the Charging Board. Today’s task was to make up the wire that is connected from the Chorehorse to the board. I pulled the modern wire through the metal braided loom. I’m not sure if the original had this but I figured it would. I also hooked up the wires for the interior lamps. That wire is a single one with the return/ground via the braided shielding. Once I had everything hooked up I figured I’d do a test. Out came the jumper cables to connect the 12v battery to the Battery No1 terminals. I then hooked up my homemade tester (red led bulb) to the 12v Output terminals. Everything worked as it should. I love the fact there is no modern electronics in this setup. Just a bunch of manual switches and hard connections.
I did up a short video to show all this.
