Having Major Electrical probs
Fog lights not working
Horn not working Just a constant circuit when I connect it up
Reverse lights not working properly(were not picked up) constantly on
and half my Interior wiring loom shot
How hard would it be to rewire the car with fresh wire and does anybody know if it's still possible to get the same colour wires so everything still ties in with the manual?
Just my head is done in

Horn circuit is live (ign on), its earthed by the steering wheel push. They require big current and lots on here have had problems, check relay clicks and try and it with just one horn if you have the twin setup.
Use a multimeter to check where the fog light volts are getting or not. Check fuse and bulb.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I had that problem, went through the whole taking everything off and shorting the horn to eliminate things and all it needed was the steering whell to be mounted a couple of notches off centre on the splines. Its worked ever since.
