Technically, you have connected the black wire on the wrong side of the ignition switch, although it will probably work, it's not ideal.

If you re-check your Power Box PBOX00166 (+ve earth) wiring diagram, you should see that the black box wire connects between the fuse (battery negative) and the ignition switch (disregard the ammeter for MkIII) so the black wire should be connected to the brown/blue wire, and not the white assimilator 'IGN' wire.

(I am assuming you have completely disconnected the old warning light assimilator unit?)

Hi, L.A.B. thanks a lot for checking that for me, i have changed the black box wire to the brown/ blue and connected it on the ignition side of the fuse as per diagram , and yes the warning light unit has been removed , i cant check things out at the moment as the carbs are in bits , but im sure everything will be fine so thanks again Brian
