electrics question

Post by Hotzenplotz »

Folks

My Pinz has never been a standard model. A widened civilian body, a non-split windscreen(exception in Austria), fuses like the swiss ones, and a weird combined ignition switch/light switch.
Now the wiring harness has disintegrated, and the closest I could get to the original one is a swiss.

BUT:

look at the Image

at the rear it has

what do i do ?

Hard to know how extensive the electrical mod's were made.
Couple of thoughts, the Start function on the Bosch switch
you are showing still has to provide power to the starter
solenoid. If you can identify that wire and the stock push
button switch is still present, you could connect to that instead.

Also, this link defines what typically the Bosch terminal numbers
are used for -- maybe this will help too.

it is not yet the result I want,but I post the result of this Sunday

I was able to crank the truck, but it didn't fire...
Cranking was NOT what i had in mind, ...
The ignition key has 3 positions; it did not do anything in the first one, but it immediately started cranking at the second,.....

confused,
Cheers

I consider that a feature.

In the first position no power to the IGN which allows one to crank
for a compression test or to move the truck W/O engine very S L O W L Y.
