Cars is being put together, but now electrical problems are coming up. Does anyone here have a Longchamp/deauville wiring diagram? I need to reduce the blue smoke leakage...

Hi Jani,
mine (1975 model factry RHD) had all the electrical loads passing through the ignition switch - something like 60 amps probably with A/C, wipers, all lights on etc. I first found it when I felt the heat radiating on my knee one cold wet night. The plastic was starting to melt and the terminals nearly fell out of the switch housing. No wiring diagram unfortunately but i put in a big relay and just took all the loads out of the ignition switch. Never been a problem since then (15 years ago). I did have to pull the dash to run some decent size cables from RHS of car (steering side) to fuse box (LHS) where I mounted the relay. Otherwise it was reasonably straightforward.
regards
Peter

I´ve got the diagram and explanations for it via Roder Brotton, Jan Krakevik, and Dutchie from this board. It is a Deauville one, but a lot of help in any case. Thank you to all!!
