Hi All,
I've just assembled my 254-in-a-crate over the weekend. It is factory stamped March 2005 and has the integrated instrument cluster with 5+2 rocker switches (labelled A-G). The manuals supplied seem to be older versions and have not been much help, so I have a few problems / questions I hope you may be kind enough to help me with:
1) When I turn the ignition switch to H (preheat) the 30A fuse labelled ammeter (top position) blows. The 30A fuse labelled preheat (bottom position) is fine. The ammeter fuse does NOT blow if I turn straight to start - engine fires up OK. Have I wired the ignition switch wrong?
2) There are no front sidelights or dipped headlights - all four front lamps come on when switched by the 'main beam' switch B. The sidelights switch (C) only illuminates the rear lights. Switch B is single position - how do you get dipped lights?
3) Related to above, can anyone provide an up-to-date wiring diagram?
4) Where are the drain plugs for the front axle, transmission and rear axle? (Mine don't match the manual diagrams).
5) I can't find a grease point for the water pump. Has Jinma switched to sealed units?
6) The battery now seems to sit in a cage immediately behind, and level with, the front weights. But there don't seem to be any clamps to stop it shaking around. Are these missing or I am expected to fabricate some?
All responses gratefully received!
