Title: murena wiring diagram
Post by: zac on June 12, 2007, 03:27:26 pm
I'm after a Murena 2,2 wiring diagram, in particular for the engine bay.

I will give Roy a ring tonight but found another post referring to espace-murena.net - this gives a not found error. Is there a link to on-line wiring diagrams somewhere?

cheers

Zac

Really looking forward to hearing the blasted thing make some noise soon!

Hi Zac

I think Roy is your best bet, since he has that laminated and carefully reviewed diagram you can buy at a reasonable price.

Simon has a diagram on the web site, but it's only covering the 1.6, which has a different ignition system.

I thought about you yesterday by the way, Zac, when I spotted a Jensen in my rear view mirror (I was in the Murena). That's an extremely rare car here in Denmark. I know the look of the front from auto card games I had when I was a child - for some reason, the Jensen's were always pictured from front, like the Miura ;) It looked quite original, still with the dealer sticker in the rear window. It had a "Mk III" badge on the rear.

I know this is an old thread but it seems silly to start a new one repeating old information, I have Roys wiring diagram but I don't have the key, the links to it (above) are no longer working. I pretty much know what i'm looking at now but would like it all the same, just to be on the safe side. Does anyone have an electronic copy that they can forward on to me?

Thanks in advance

There's also now the two diagrams (1.6 and 2.2) here:

But if you have Roys wiring diagram the will not tell you much you don't know already.

If I understand you correctly, what you want is the explanation to the letters and numbers on the diagram.

For that I have attached a word document with a table explaining the letters on the diagrams. I extracted that somewhere and pasted it into word,  but can't recall where. Hope that helps though.

Greetings.
Jon.

I noticed that one of the bulbs have gone on the central column (clock/heater panel etc) and am going to replace them, I seem to remember possibly that someone told me these twist fit bulbs are only 6 volts (or maybe i'm confusing myself with the dash pressfit bulbs). I have some 12 volt bulbs and have tried replacing them with these, it certainly looks better with them in as its brighter, my only worry is heat, has anyone had them in for a sustained time and did it cause any damage?

6  volts instead of 12 volts? I suppose there is some problem in your wiring. They will be brighter: that's for sure. But in principle 6 volts bulbs should not tolerate that for long, as your electrical system is 12 volts.

The originals were 24 volts.  I have been running 12 volt bulbs in my car for some time, as the 24 volt ones are hard to obtain.  I have not had any problems with them, although I find them a bit bright at night.

Not 6 volts but 24 volt bulbs so that on a 12 volt system they run dimmer.

These bulbs are easy enough to get if you remember that trucks use 24 volt systems, so you need to go to a truck parts department who will usually carry them on the shelf.  Car motor factors mostly do not keep them, and as Peter said 12 volt bulbs are too bright as well as maybe getting too warm.  Bulb number is 508T (T signifies including holder)

As for the key to the wiring diagrams, if you cannot work out the items from their location and shape on the diagram (which closely follows the real car) the item identifying letters are the same as in the workshop manual, but if you don't have that either you could contact me, as I have the full list.  My wiring diagrams were originally set up on a computer which is why they have that link top left - it brings up the diagram key!

Thanks for all your input, the diagram is great and very easy to follow, I just wanted to make sure I knew which colours refered to to what in relation to fused, unfused, etc... over the last few days Ive made some real progress sorting my wiring out, having two cars really helps as the elecric on my second car is very original, i.e. has not had two alarms fitted, several stereos etc... On my best car the elecronic box that controls the wipers was zip tied between 2 wires over by the foot rest, i have now moved it back over to where it should be and as a result this plus other other wires follow a far better,  less complicated route..

On your dashboard there is a small thumb wheel under the row of colured lamps. It adjusts the brightness. Are the lights still too bright after turning that?

On my car this only adjusts the dash and the clock, not those lights..

The dashboard illumination dimmer does not affect the heater panel lights.  This is why they are 24v so they are already the correct brightness.

Thats good, I was sure it didn't. Well my dash is all back together now and if I may say, it all looks and works much better! All heater dials, lights etc all work, cables are not longer tied in knotts and with the brand new heater switch that I fitted i'd say this part of my car is sorted now.. time to move on to all the other 100's of things that i want to do..
