PROTECTION OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN CARRYING OUT AN OPERATION ON THE VEHICLE
It is essential to avoid actrons which may damage the electrical or the electronic equipment or create a short circuit
(wrth subsequent risk of fire or accident).
Battery:
a) First disconnect cable clamp from the battery negative terminal, earthed, then from the positive post.
b 1 Before tightening the negative clamp to the battery (the negative lead should be connected last), ensure that there
is no short circuit (bright sparks or arcs).
Small sparks may occur due to the interior lamp (door open), door locking device, clock or components having
remained in operation.
c 1 Make sure that the terminals are properly connected. Clamps and terminals should be clean and correctly tightened.
d ) When recharging the battery, disconnect the two clamps first.
e) Do not reverse the negative and positive clamps on the battery. (This could destroy the alternator diodes).
Fuses:
a 1 Fit the correct type of fuses: use the fuses specified for the protected devices
b 1 Take the added accessories and the functions into consideration.
Charging circuit:
,a 1 Do not run the alternator unless it is connected to the battery. Do not disconnect the battery when the alternator
is rotating.
b 1 Ensure that the regulator is correctly earthed.
c ) Do not interchange the leads connected to the regulator, (charge detection warning lamp and excitation are specific).
d ) Do not connect a suppressor capacitor to the regulator without taking precautions or following proper
instructions.
e 1 Do not use an electric welding equipment on the vehicle without having first disconnected the alternator, the regula-
tor and the battery (insulate the two terminals).
f 1 Do not R check )) the operation of an alternator by short circuiting the positive and ground terminals, which may
destroy the diodes.
Starting the engine:
Do not use a booster or a 24-volt battery. Only use a correctly charged 12-volt battery (a higher capacity battery may
be utilised). Otherwise, risk of deterioration of the ignition module or any other electronic control units. If the starter
is needed for starting the engine, without running it, it is necessary to disconnect datum and flywheel sensors on the
All Electronic Ignition, or the primary lead of the coil on any other type of ignition.
Ignition:
a 1 Do not connect a suppressor capacitor to the negative terminal of the coil.
b 1 Do not operate the module if its radiator is not connected to the earth.
c 1 Fit the radio suppressor capacitors recommended by the factory.
d 1 Never operate the ignition system while the HT circuit is open. Connect the HT leads to earth
e) Only use rev. counter having a HT sensor, (never puncture HT leads).
0.1. bulb:
a) Never replace a 01. bulb with the headlamp switched on. If the headlamps have been in use, allow them to cool down.
b) Do not touch a 0.1. bulb with bare fingers. Any fingerprints must be cleaned with soapy water and the bulb dried
with a dry lint-free cloth.
Checks :
a) Preferably use a high resistance (> 10 k Q VI voltmeter or a battery-operated ohm-meter
b) Take care not to use instruments taking their power from the mains.
Electronic components:
a) Avoid overvoltages due to a badly insulated charger, electric arcing or connections to the coil.
The units such as regulator, ignition module, tachometer, windscreen wiper timer, flasher unit, clock, radio, oil gauge
unit, door lock control unit, etc. comprising electronic components may be deteriorated.
b) The electronic components should not be placed or operated under a temperature exceeding 80°C.
c) Always switch off instruments or electronic control units before connecting or disconnecting them.

JUNCTION BOX MA 510.00/1 1
The junction box is to be found under the dashboard, to the left (right on RHD) of the steering wheel. It combi-
nes most of the electrical functions.
It is presented on page 3, as seen from above, the front of the vehicle being directed to the left.
COMPONENTS:
- 14 fuses (refer to the table)
- A relay for the electric cooling fan
: RI
- A relay for the rear window winder motor
: R2
- A relay for the front window winder motor : R3
- A relay for the heated rear screen
: R4
- A direction indicator unit : c
- A delay/timer unit for the windscreen wiper : I
- Connectors
Connectors:
- 26, all different, can be connected.
’
- They are different by the number of channels and their colour, each colour being attributed a specific casing slot
- They are grouped by columns I to V (from left to right) and stages 1 to 6 max. (from top to bottom).
All these figures are to be found either side of the conductor on the circuit diagram.
How to read the table (page 2):
Example II 1 0 M 9
B
Connector situated in the 2nd column (II), 1st stage (I).
It is a brown (MI 10 channel (0) connector
The lead (conductor) is located in the channel 9 of the connector concerned on the circuit diagram.
Function : lead supplying the clock electrically: + permanent after fuse F7.
Wires and stripes (V H) Green wire with a black stripe.
Position (66): number of the vertical line on the circuit diagram where the channel and the connector in
question are to be found.
The letter positioned below indicates the harness which connects at that place: B (box)
Special features:
The two black 2 channel connectors used, cannot be mistaken: they differ by a 9 mm clip on the one hand
and a 5 mm flat pin on the other hand.
The yellow 2 channel connector and fuse F14 are used in cold countries only.
