Electrical installation questions, Various issues under one thread Options

[JFG]

I'm now in a position to test the electricals on my car. It came with many things missing & broken.

I'm running twin carbs so there'll be no injection specific issues with electrics.

To start I have the following;

Wiring up the reverse light switch. I have used separate bullet connectors (part of the missing category) but I don't know if there is a right/wrong way to insert them. For example, is there a way to look on the switch to see which is live/earth?

There are 2 gauges where the lights don't illuminate. The rev counter and the multi gauge. The Speedo lights up fine. Bulbs and sockets are all new.

When I turn the ignition on the passenger side headlight opens up halfway, does not illuminate until I pull the light switch and does not raise or lower from this position.

Finally (for now) I only have one movement on the wiper switch. This came with the ignition cowl as a once piece lot.

I'll post some pictures shortly.

Looks like i need to pull the wiper motor to test, no relay in the circuit!

With a bit of a potch the brake pedal switch is fitted and working.

The pictures below are of wires that i have "spare" any help with these. They're all up in the centre dash area.



The picture below has the following;
Black/blue stripe 11.04v only when main lights are on. no power all other times
Grey/red stripe 0.22v only when main lights are on. No power all other times.
Brown earth.

Could it be a fog light switch wiring?



Just the thin red & yellow in this pic.
Red 12.02v switched live
Yellow/ red stripe no power.
