Re: What did you do today?
Yesterday - AMC wiring - the indicator switch appears to be unique to the RHD models and is undocumented anywhere I can find on the internet.
Neither the 67 or 68 Factory Service manuals has the correct wiring colours listed in the wiring diagram.
Today - Wiper blades on the ZTT, then a few minutes working out the actual wiring for the indicators.
Since I changed the bootlid over and the "new" bootlid doesn't have amber indicators fitted I have decided to revert to the "proper" US setup of red rear indicators - I know no-one in the UK will recognise these, and it's not strictly legal (only for pre-65 and mine is 68) but considering the amount of totally egregious number plates, illegal tinted glass and even illegal tyres I see every day I am going to take a chance. Also given coppers have no idea what the law is I reckon I can bluff may way out of it in the extremely unlikely chance of ever seeing a copper again.

After two weeks of ownership... 
(Airbag light is on for those that are looking at the wrong thing. SERV means mildly broken on french stuff, not it needs a service. STOP means more broken.)

Re: What did you do today?
Toggled the passenger airbag deactivation switch (for if you have a child seat in the front seat) and the light went out.
Everyone was thinking it was the under seat connector. Definitely shows it's worth reading the codes before doing work.

Re: What did you do today?
I have red rear indicators using the stop lamp filament on my Morris. They were fitted from 1961-64. I have not noticed anyone behaving as if they've failed to understand them. A couple of other cars had a similar system, others used amber rear but white front flashers like the Humber.AMCrebel wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 1:39 pm Yesterday - AMC wiring - the indicator switch appears to be unique to the RHD models and is undocumented anywhere I can find on the internet.

Re: What did you do today?
It's so rare to see anyone pay attention to indicators I doubt you'd notice if anyone didn't understand them.
