Hi,
Im currently in the process of building an 87 capri cosworth (yb engine) and im having some wiring and electrical issues. The problems are as follows:

-Both tail lights are flashing with the indicator on and are very dim
-None of the clocks are working rev counter, battery/fuel etc,
-Horn not working
-Front indicators have power but when i earth the earth the power goes
-There is a red wire with a white line along it sitting in the engine bay not connected, if anyone knows what this is it would deffinitely help!

Any information is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Paul

I got all the back lights working, still cant get the front indicators to work. Some of the dash lights are working, when I turn on the lights it all lights up. If anybody has any info about these issues let me know, its the last few bits i need to finish the car!
Thanks,
