Evening all. I'm having a bit of a problem identifying some wiring, admittedly it's on my bus not my buggy but the best wiring brains I know are on here!
It's a 75 bus with a 2 stalk column and this one is the indicator and headlamp flasher stalk. I took the whole thing apart to clean it and found what looks like a bodge. There are only 6 wires that come out and there are only connections for 6. The 2 grey wires inside seem to have been twisted around 2 others and had a bit of tape around them - I'm pretty sure that's not original. Does anyone by chance know what the grey wires are for and what the original layout was? This kind of stuff isn't in any diagrams I can find. Maybe the stalk is from a different vehicle that had an extra function? Any suggestions welcome.

I think grey are side lights so these may be parking light wires?
Agree with Flags on that so you can put left or fight parking lights on using the indicator switch.
Good thinking, thanks guys. Presumably to use that function (& I don't intend to) I'd need to run 2 more wire's up to the switch? So if I disconnect the 2 grey wires, i.e. unwise them, and chop them off I presume everything else will work? ?
I have never looked at where the feed came from but it came on if you turned the ignition off with the indicator switch on left or right.
Hi bud. They were left and right parking lights (left and right) for mainly American market.
Just cut them off as don't need them.

Thank you Mr Wiring guru. :)
Thanks all - you guys are the best. I knew this would be the place to get answers.

That sounds like a good shout. From mrmory, my ignition barrel has a grey wire which is only live whrn the ignition is switched off. Makes sense now.
