Autodata manual
Autodata manual
Hi everyone. Does any one know if the Autodata manual for the Mk 3 Capri contains a wiring diagram that would be suitable or a Mk 3 Laser ( 2.0 ) before I buy one as ive only got the Haynes for the Mk 2 and doesn't seem to be compatable. And would anyone have a wiring diagram for a Laser if it hasn't. Thanks.

Re: Autodata manual
My Autodata doesn't have a specific Laser wiring digram, although not surprising as it's dated 1981, not sure if the revised editions did have I'm afraid.
Mine does have them for other models.

Re: Autodata manual
Most of the Capri II Haynes manuals had the words ( including Series III) under the title and should be fully relevant. Wiring diagrams for late model L,GL,S etc should be relevant to a Laser as it was only really a trim change.
At some point in the mid 70s there was a redesign of the internal configuration of the lighting switch stalks and addition of a headlamp relay , not sure if this coincided with the introduction of the Mk3 or was a few years before it. Certainly though any late Mk3 wiring diagram for a 4 cylinder Capri should be relevant to all late mk3 4 cylinder Capris.

Re: Autodata manual
I have the Haynes manual but the wiring for the wipers and washer pump are different to what's actually in the car and I have not been able to find correct diagram ( haven't looked to hard ). Some of the wiring defies logic and common sense
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

Re: Autodata manual
Think this is the easiest way of looking at it - much easier than trying to translate a Haynes diagram!
A wise man once said... "you can never have too many capris - buy another"

Re: Autodata manual
Hi everyone . Thanks for the help. Don't think I'll bother with the Autodata manual until I can see one in the flesh. The link to the fuses was great and much simpler as said. The project is converting from auto to manual (from a big box of bits ) and was wondering where the neutral start cut off thingy came out of the front loom and where to cut it off/ isolate it. And if the big relay on the engine bay bulkhead was the same. Thanks all, and hope to be at shows on the Kings highway sometime .
Re: Autodata manual
Hi again. Well, i have two mk2 Haynes manuals, one with and one without the Mk 3 update. I was looking at the one without. ! The one with the update is a lot more helpful ( but not sure if specific ) but will only know when i sit down and go through it. Watch this space. Thanks all, Steve.
