Default RS500 ABS Cluster Lights







I have a RS500 cluster I'm going to use. I wish to know the wiring arrangement for the ABS warning light in the middle, the ABS harness I'm using is from a Sapphire which uses the small bulb socket that normally would twist lock in rear of Sapphire cluster.


Does anyone know the color of wire any connector type for this..

You talking about the light not working or the ABS system?


I installed the entire system, brake master, ecu, harness, sensors, lower arms and front hubs with correct tone wheels from a Sapphire 2wd Cosworth, into a Merkur XR4Ti that didn't have ABS. The system is working, hit a wet spot under hard braking and felt the front circuit being activated. Just would like to wire up the warning lamp properly. Got a Sapphire cluster that I could interchange cluster panels to use its bulb socket but would like to connect the one above in pic to warn me. If I can find out the proper circuit for the light I'm good.

The 3doors used a slightly different loom which is why they are hard to get hold of
Just such in the normal saph cluster with 1 bulb, much easier

Could you not cut some of the connector away and solder the two Sapphire bulb wires onto the 3 door light?

Is it not easier to just run a yellow led light?

Got a mate at work to help me figure the current flow direction, just to find the led don't work.


I'm just adapting the Sapphire's twist lock bulb to the back instead.
