The wiring loom on the 500c to the boot is different to the 500. 7 wires in the C, more in the 500.Same problems occur with those older models as the wiring is too short and inflexible through the gromits and usually stress and break causing issues. Nice little motor and a bargain price to buy for both your prospective purchaser and for you guys at the start, wish I’d managed to get one that price for the OH.

Hi Rob & Chris, great job with the electrics, always go for the plugs and sockets first as they tarnish rotten especially on Italian cars, bit of electrical switch cleaner sprayed on them helps keep them working longer.
