@MisterP007 Great build thread.

Can I ask about your retro looking window winder handles. They're switches aren't they? How did you wire them? Did you run new cables into the door or use existing/unused cables?

Any scribbled wiring diagram to share?

Thanks
Ian

Hi there

On the 250 SWB the window winders are bolted on Triumph Herald winders (bolted through the back of the door car) and the windows are operated from momentary on - off - momentary on stainless steel toggle switches in the centre console.

On the 250 Cal they are momentary on - off - momentary on rotary switches bonded to the back of the winders. There is a description in my 250 California build thread somewhere.

Sorry no time to find it for you.

The wires on the original switches are
Left
brown
grey/red trace
white/green trace
blue

right
brown
grey/red trace
grey/white trace
black/yellow trace






the 4 wires on each switch are as follows:

Drivers switch
Brown.......................... Earth
Black/White................. Close signal to ZKE
Violet/White................. Open signal to ZKE
Grey/Red...................... illumination for switch (+12v on switching lights on)


Passengers switch
Brown.......................... Earth
Blue/Green................. Close signal to ZKE
White/Green................. Open signal to ZKE
Grey/Red...................... illumination for switch (+12v on switching lights on)


Ignore the illumination wires (if you wish)
Just connect an earth to the signal for the relevant movement, and it will go in that direction for as long as you hold the earth on it.



Wiring for rotary window winders




The door mirror wiring on the doors is
drivers
green/black
blue/black
blue/white
black/white

passenger.
blue/green
blue/white
blue/black
green/black


Rotary handles come from car builder solutions, I use MGB winder handle as they have a screw hole in them so that you can screw the handle to the switch.
The beauty of doing it this way is that you use the door mirror wiring for the switch so utilise the connection auction for the door wiring so no mucking about when you need to remove the door.
Don't forget to wire up an extra window switch for the dashboard to operate the passenger window or you won't be able to reach it.
