1968 MGB Lucas Electrical Training

All right Sparky - get your spare fuses and clip leads ready.  The electrical system in the MG appears to be all original with a few creative additions.  Few of the lights worked at all and I wasn't sure I even had brake lights.  Time to learn about Lucas ​electrical systems.

From what I could tell the system under the hood was all original.  I found what appears to the under hood main junction box with only two fuses.  After probing and testing I found a bundle of loose and unconnected wires.  After a few hours sorting the color code and finding the proper connections almost everything worked.​

I needed to remove, clean and adjust the brake light switch - it had simply corroded internally.  A little emery file and it was brake lights again.​  Who thought just getting the lights to work would be so much fun...
