The Haynes manuals is extremely confusing regarding the labeling of the relays on Spitfires. The two ways they confuse readers is 1. the illustrations show right hand drive cars with different locations for relays, and 2. the naming of the relays is strange (at least to North American Spit owners). There are three relays grouped together on the bu

lkhead next to the master cylinders (not the battery box as Haynes says. this is for Right Hand Drive cars in the UK). The relays are the Hazard Flasher relay, Horn relay, and another confusingly named relay: green/white (to the C1 terminal), black/purple (to the C4 terminal), white/orange (to the W1 terminal), Double black combo (black/blue & black to W2 with a black jumper between C2 and W2) This relay should be called "Pre-Driving Checks" relay. The Haynes manual shows it in the photo calling it the Overdrive relay. When researching this page I found it also called Bulb Check relay and Starter relay. Apparently its job is to have a hand in the control such US government mandated devises as the seatbelt warning light/buzzer, EGR service light, and the PDWA (brake failure) light. Note that the Hazard and Blinker relays were combined into a single one for 1978-80 cars and was located behind the dash (somewhere below the tach or speedo). This "Flasher" relay now had 3 wires (light green/gray, light green/brown and green/light green). If you haven`t guessed, the Haynes manual`s wiring diagram is VERY wrong around this relay on 76 cars. A great wiring diagram is available for download however. (1. 1Mb)
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
