Seeking Comments Regarding Our New Mangusta Wiring Diagram

OK, I REALLY missed the boat on this one for the most part.....was busy moving after 35-ish years in one place.....  Moving "Waldo's Garage" was no picnic nor was "new house refurb" before we could move in....then of course where was "move out refurb" after 35 years!!!

SO, I wanted to say, FANTASTIC effort on the parts of all that made this drawing happen!     I recall working from a copy of a copy of a copy, that I know I distributed to many over the years.....and it was the ONLY (very early) version that I have ever seen, noting that the missing AC/Headlamp/Dash stuff Carello relays do now appear at the top of the new drawing!    The technical Italian--> English technical don't translate easily either!

I recall YEARS ago, in the last millennium (love saying that....!)  one of our PCNC members spoke/read Italian and was kind enough to translate the fuse block cover labeling for me!   Had no CLUE what I was trying to find/look for when troubleshooting.    Just this translation helped a lot! 

This new drawing should go a LONG way to helping present and future Goose owners/rebuilders to come!

All should take a bow!
Ciao!

@mangustaman just scroll up, several iterations of it are in this thread.

Here is a link to the full diagram:

Guys,

Still working a bit with a shop rewiring from scratch.   The are trying to require with Jon's new "goose block" and also looking at the new schematic.

Of question, is the #30 pink wire circuit from the switch......      That circuit originates at the battery, with ties into the alternator and the amp gauge.

Is the amp gauge hot or operable at all times?    I recall wiring in an aftermarket gauge in an old Chevy and I had it hot 100% of the time and it proceeded to drain my battery on a regular basis, until I change something.......perhaps it was a volt meter.....way too many decades ago!!!!!!    Not sure if this is a big deal or not...... but would like to understand.

I also don't recall my radio being on with key off.......  This may have been changed by original radio installer or myself.....also CRS here!!!

The rest of the "100% live fuses" like windows, courtesy lamps, etc seem good.

What is the arrangement of this pink wire at the rear of the car????   There is a 2 on the schematic and I don't quite understand this, right before it goes to a split(?) black wire off to the alternator and the ammeter......   Where is this splice and what does the 2 mean???

Thanks in advance!
Steve

Hi Steve!  Not sure how to answer your first questions, but I do know that the junction between the large black and large pink wires (which are indicated by the '2' in the schematic) is hidden inside the left rocker "tunnel", visible only once you pull the front harness section 1-2 feet back into the engine compartment.  IIRC the black wire a contiguous strand, running from the alternator to the ammeter, and the two pinks are grafted on and the resulting solder joint was wrapped in electrical tape.  Not exactly elegant so maybe that's why the whole things was hidden in the rocker?

Another detail worth mentioning....you probably noticed that the 2 pinks feed the bus that ties fuse 'inputs' 4 through 9 together, not fuse #9 specifically.  So they can attach on any available tab on that bus.  Here is how it worked out on a converted Pantera box on 8MA1010.  Pretty sure the inputs are correct but haven't smoke tested anything yet!

Final note...a Mangusta box has a tab on Fuse 'input' #1, but the Pantera didn't.  No need to add one there since it wasn't used anyway
