Triumph Repair: TR3 Horn / turn signal wiring, fuse panel, turn signals


Question
1959 TR3
Had to remove the steering column for suspenion repair and trying to rewire the horn/turn signals is more than challenging as yo what connects where. My manual is lacking detail - any advice?

Answer
Hi John,
If you mean where to connect each wire. I don't remember and I don't have a good picture of the connections either but you only have 5 wires to connect. So just take an ohm meter or set up a powered test light to check the function of each position on the switch.
The horn wire should be Brown w/black tracer. And a ground is Black.
The turn signals have only three wires, Green w/white tracer is right turn light and Green w/Red tracer is left light and all Green is power from the fuse panel. If the colors on the wires are faded away just use a powered test wire to touch each to ID them. Do a touch first so when you find the black ground wire you don't melt something down.
