Whenever you disconnect
any vacuum lines, coolant or
emissions hoses, wiring
connectors and fuel lines,
always label them clearly, so that they
can be correctly reassembled. Masking
tape and/or a touch-up paint applicator
work well for marking items. Take
instant photos, or sketch the locations
of components and brackets.

As it is detached, plug the end of the hose to
prevent excessive fuel spillage and the ingress
of dirt. Where a crimped type hose clip is fitted,
cut it free, taking care not to damage the hose;
a new screw type clip will need to be obtained
to replace the crimped clip during reassembly.
7Disconnect the relevant vacuum pipes from
the carburettor. As they are detached, label
them to ensure correct reassembly.
8 Unscrew and remove the four Torx-type
retaining screws, and carefully lift clear the
carburettor from the inlet manifold (see
illustration) . Remove the gasket.

1 General information and
precautions
General information
The electrical system is of 12-volt negative
earth type. Power for the lights and all
electrical accessories is supplied by a
lead/acid battery, which is charged by the
engine-driven alternator.
This Chapter covers repair and service
procedures for the various electrical
components not associated with the engine.
Information on the battery, ignition system,
alternator, and starter motor can be found in
Chapter 5A and B.
All models from 1994 onwards are fitted
with a driver’s air bag, which is designed to
prevent serious chest and head injuries to the
driver during an accident. A similar bag for the
front seat passenger is also available. The
combined sensor and electronics for the air
bag is located next to the steering column
inside the vehicle, and contains a back-up
capacitor, crash sensor, decelerometer,
safety sensor, integrated circuit and
microprocessor. The air bag is inflated by a
gas generator, which forces the bag out of the module cover in the centre of the steering
wheel. A “clock spring” ensures that a good
electrical connection is maintained with the air
bag at all times - as the steering wheel is
turned in each direction, the spring winds and
unwinds.
An anti-theft alarm system is available on
later models, and is triggered if the vehicle is
broken into through the doors, bonnet, or
tailgate. The alarm will also be triggered if the
ignition or audio equipment is tampered with.
Additionally, from the 1994 model year
onwards, a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)
is fitted. This system, (which works
independently of the standard alarm) prevents
the engine from being started unless a
specific code, programmed into the ignition
key, is recognised by the PATS transceiver.
Precautions
Warning: Before carrying out
any work on the electrical
system, read through the
precautions given in “Safety
first!” at the beginning of this manual and
in Chapter 5A, Section 1.
Caution: Prior to working on any
component in the electrical system, the
battery negative lead should first be
disconnected, to prevent the possibility of electrical short-circuits and/or fires. If a
radio/cassette player with anti-theft
security code is fitted, refer to the
information given in the reference sections
of this manual before disconnecting the
battery.

Note: Refer to the precautions given in
“Safety first!” and in Section 1 of this Chapter
before starting work. The following tests relate
to testing of the main electrical circuits, and
should not be used to test delicate electronic
circuits (such as engine management
systems), particularly where an electronic
control unit is used. Also refer to the
precautions given in Chapter 5A, Section 1.
General
1 A typical electrical circuit consists of an
electrical component, any switches, relays,
motors, fuses, fusible links or circuit breakers
related to that component, and the wiring and

the inside face of the cover to remove and fit
the fuses (see illustrations) .
2 To remove a fuse, use the tweezers
provided to pull it out of the holder. Slide the
fuse sideways from the tweezers. The wire
within the fuse is clearly visible, and it will be
broken if the fuse is blown.
3 Always renew a fuse with one of an
identical rating. Never renew a fuse more than
once without tracing the source of the trouble.
The fuse rating is stamped on top of the fuse.
4 With the exception of the indicator flasher
relay, the remainder of the relays are fitted to
the reverse side of the main fuse/relay board.
Access is as described in paragraph 1.
5 The various relays can be removed from
their respective locations on the fuse board by
carefully pulling them from the sockets.
6 The direction indicator flasher relay is
attached to the multi-function switch unit on
the steering column. Access to the relay is
made by undoing the retaining screws and
removing the steering column shrouds. The
relay can then be withdrawn from the switch.
7 If a system controlled by a relay becomes
inoperative and the relay is suspect, listen to
the relay as the circuit is operated. If the relay
is functioning, it should be possible to hear it
click as it is energised. If the relay proves
satisfactory, the fault lies with the
components or wiring of the system. If the
relay is not being energised, then it is not
receiving a main supply voltage or a switching
voltage, or the relay is faulty.
