That is a great set of documents. Answers my question of here is a switch, what colors should the wires be and how do they feed.
Thanks,
jerry

This may be fun Jerry, but it won't be of much use to anyone.
I inherited the car after it had had all the electrics burnt out by a restorer.
(shorted headlamp switch I imagine)
These drawings are the result of a lot of hours of circuit tracing.
The headlamp open/close in the one labelled "Front Compartment"
is just like the Mike Dailey drawing with 2 SPDT relays replacing the DPDT relay.

I put 4 pdfs in the poca gallery.

You can't view them there, but they download just fine.

If it's the reversing relay,
mine has a replacement scheme that just uses 3 standard auto relays.
It's quite clean. I can send you a drawing.

DOH! :<(
I do feel a bit dense for not verifying that everything was there before
chasing all the wiring.
I had the same thing happen when I bought my Pantera. Driver's window
was stuck up. Horsed around with electricity for ages before pulling the
door panel and finding the motor missing!
I did find that it does not have relays for the
lights, so that is scheduled for this winter.
Do you mean the limit switches? Or the headlight door relay, the very
complicated power-reversing thing that has a clear plastic cover and costs a
fortune? And comes in two versions to make life even more interesting...
Just wondering if there is a suggested replacement motor like the window
motor replacements.
No, the stock motor is the way to go. This motor was used in a variety
of Italian cars and there are newer varients that have flat sides as
opposed to round, but functionally they are all the same. Make sure you install
a brass gear iin the gearbox at the same time (assuming you have the
gearbox?)
Are you only missing the motor, or the whole assembly? I might have a
spare assembly lying around--I know I did have two of them but may have sold
them already. I'll look if you need me to...
