MG Car Repair: 1972 mg midget, door switches, mg midget

Question
Hello Barrie
I was attempting to clean up the wiring harness in my mg when I accidently pulled a wire connection and lost the other end.
The wire was located on the front passenger side before the door. There is a similar connection on the left side. I'm not sure whether the wire colour is correct but the wire I have in my hand is purple and white. I lost the other end where ever it went (somewhere inside the car). I was wondering whether you could tell me where I could find that wire, or where does that wire go? Many thanks


Answer
Hi Rico.  The Purple wire with a white stripe goes from the courtesy lamp to the two door switches.  There is a black 4-way joiner behind the centre console.  There should be 3 wires going into the joiner, all the same colour.  Sometimes the switch wire drops behind the trim panel.  Look at the one on the other side of the car, it will be similar.
