1979 Capri 2.0 "Ghia " - Spraying Bumpers / New TCAs

Today a box from Capri Gear turned up with all the stuff to recondition my heater blower. New Motor, Matrix , Resistor and foam.

My only concern is will these blue connectors handle the power for the Resistor? Also i'm looking to use one on the cig lighter.








Martin from Capri Gear labeled up the resistor for me as i had nothing to work from. Heres what he wrote down for me if this of use to anyone?








Also weirdly both motors seem to have a blob of blue tack on the coil... whats that for?

Heres where I'm up to.

ahh cheers! yeah i guessed it was supposed to be there but had no clue why.

I wasnt sure weather to do anything with them to be honest. What kind of foam would be best? I did notice some had replaced the flaps (i think) but a decent quick fix would do me on these

That.

Capri heater fans are common failures, so spend the £50 and fit a new one. Replacing the foam seals is a good idea too. This will make the heater a lot more effective, and you won't regret it.

Ba9s bayonet bulb holder, more commonly replaced with a soft rubber R501 or W5W holder due to the larger variety of bulbs available.
Most commonly used as front pilot or sidelights on Fords, also used as instrument and glovebox / footwell lights. 
I'd go with LED's simply as they use less current, less strain on the wiring loom and a brighter light. 
I know I had some knocking around the shop as I've used them for projects. I'll see if I have one tomorrow.

Test first, glovebox light is on the sidelight / instrument circuit normally.

What colours are the two wires attached to the loom?

Those two wires on the glovebox go to the switch on the door, so that the light only comes on when its opened. Brown will go to the loom and black to the light. The red wire on the light will go to a switched live somwehere

Just an update on where i'm at before i connect up tomorrow! 

I managed to get out and connected up a cig lighter to the two Red and Brown wires . Red i connected to the bullet (via the block which i'm told is ok!?) and brown spade connector.



I also bought a bulb from the auto electrics store and added a wire back into the car which I'm guessin should be the live? The black wire goes on the other side of the bulb holder (not connected yet)





I also started checking/ tiding up the radio ISO block. It looks like i have a Black Earth that must have been connected to the stereo chassis as it doesnt look like its come from the ISO Black wire... although this would be do the same thing right?
The Red seems to go to the Red on the car which fills me with more confidence and the Yellow goes to the permeant live.

The speaker wiring seems to be all the wrong colours but as i remember worked fine for the limited time i heard the stereo.

My main concern here is there was some melted tape on top of one of the speaker connecters... would there be enough power in the speaker wires to melt this?




I thought about connecting the battery with just the Cig lighter first and test that will charge a phone or something, then the glove box then connect the heater blower up and test that.... does this seem the right way to do it?
        I'm thinking if i connected it all back up, turn it on and smell burning I'm not going to know where to start looking?? although i understand having just one thing connected might cause more load somewhere else?

Any thought before i throw the switch haha? only worried as someone has been obviously chasing something before to remove these items. 

I've got a multimeter but just a little unsure how to work with it to be honest. At the moment there are no fuses in the fuse box and the battery is off at the moment. Havent had time to work on the car today just the heater box so still havent got round to trying the electrics.
