What is involved in removing the dash, need to get to some wiring, the panel with the three relays (starter,headlight,and fan) got loose, actually is was glued to the back and I need to re-attach it. any tricks to this

Correct me if I'm wrong, you have a pre 1040 car (1040+ have a drop down fuse panel) there are lot of little connectors that need to be removed. Marking the was very important. Wire could be getting a bit stiff and crispy from time too. Perhaps just opening up the dash for a bit more room will suffice...Velcro is not an option? I have seen people make small extensions for the wiring and make those relays more accessable....When I made the wiring diagrams, I partially open a few dashes....Contact me if you have aa problem....

Blas, I do have a pre 1040 car. looking at it this morning, I'll probably just unclip all the wires from the panel and then re-attach the relay panel. then just hook-up the wires after the panel is secure.. I also installed a main breaker as you informed me about earlier.. see what you started, getting that wire diagram has made me wire crazy!! best thing I purchased for my cobra though

many thanks for all the effort you put in producing that diagram

Breaker of fuse?
I'd like to see a photo of your installation.
If you are going to all the trouble of removing your dash, I would take the opportunity to make those 3 relays more accessible. A simple task with eh dash off or almost off. Be extra careful if you disconnect the oil pressure line. There is a tiny ring that can easily get lost....While you’re in there, examine the blower. Look for a schematic and other wires not being used...if you find any I would like some photos and a detailed description. Someone said that the motor may have multiple speeds, just not wired....Thanks

Blas, it is a circuit breaker. series 180 Hi-Amp resetable type. here's the web address: http://www.bussauto.com/products/circprot/ , when I get back home I'll snap a pic of my install
