The Original TR7 Wiring Diagram, Redrawn in Color
Before I start poking at the TR7's wiring, I redrew an original factory diagram in color. Here it is, in case it saves someone else the bother.
The car is a Triumph TR7 restomod. It belonged to my late father. Sort of. It's complicated.
You see, I crashed Dad's car. It was bad. An icy road in Belgium. No putting Humpty back together.
Instead, I decided to build the ultimate car Dad would have liked if he were still around.
A team in England put the car together for me: stronger, faster, and better. Bigger brakes. Stiffer suspsension. A large V8.
It was a bare metal, "down to the nuts and bolts" job. Everything off the car. A lot of new parts.
But that was 1996. Time goes by. Things get old. Things break. Suspension parts turn to dust (who knew that).
So, another refresh is in order. This time, I'm doing it myself, with a little help from my son, Eddie. We excitedly took the car apart. That seemed to go quite quick. Putting it together again is taking a while longer.
Don’t miss out on any of the inaction:

We need the front suspension off our TR7 to replace all the decaying bushings – but the car doesn't want to cooperate!
This week, we're taking the rear suspension off the car. Well, let's just say it didn't go so smoothly.
We're trying to fix our electric power steering. Finding the broken wire gets tricky.
Rather than doing any work on our Triumph TR7, we distract ourselves by buying large, expensive equipment that we don't know how to operate.
The wiring numbers for our Twin Busch SC-10 E scissor lift (delivered Feb 2023) didn't match those shown in their install video.
Hi, I'm Eddie MacLeod. And I'm his dad, Colin. We've got a father and son project going here. The Triumph TR 7 V8.
