I'm trying to ressurrect my garage queen P1800ES. It's even been repainted this year and it was running albeit very badly. Somewhere in my struggles however, she died completely and I was blowing out a single fuse constantly. As I tried to decipher this, I find I had incorrectly wire the fuseblock - I had labled 1-12 cleanly, but which end was #1 at? I had it backwards at it was running! Correcting this, I had an absolutely dead car - no ignition lights, no fuel pump relay click, no nothing.

As I look at the wiring diagram at the ignition switch I see that the switch should be:

Terminal # Color (Wire size)
30 Red (4)
50 Green (1.5)
75 Black (4.0)
15 Yellow (4.0)


My problem is that I don't have a green wire, but a blue one. Is this a possible correct variation? I am working from a 1972 Green book, not a 1973 one.

Thanks,
Dave
