Traveller Interior Light

Post by Jim McCrae »

The interior light in my '65 Traveller works via the door switches but not via the built in switch.

The problem is that the black wire is not earthed and I cannot find where it is (or should be) connected to the body. The live feed and switch wires run down the screen pillar but the black wire does not follow this route.

Can anyone shed light on where the earth connects to the body?

I think mine earthed to one of the long bolts joining the steel cab roof to the rear. It won't matter what you earth it to as long as it IS earthed :wink: .

Thanks, ManyMinors.
I do realise that any earth position would
I am simply trying to work out how best to solve this without disturbing the roof lining too much.
