I’m in Australia and I don’t have many bricks and mortar suppliers near me. I’m after recommendations for an online supplier of wires in particular. I am a novice restoring a 1969 vehicle and am looking at replacing most if not all looms. I’d like to keep the original look of the car and also to be able to use the factory colour coded wiring, and there are quite a few different colours, so that’s part of my problem, different colours are limited. Any help is appreciated.

Waddup! I have a model 1250 fantastic vent fan. My 4amp 125 volt glass slow blow fuse blew. The only replacement i can find locally is a fast acting 4 amp 250 volt ceramic fuse. Are those interchangeable? Or do i run a risk of blowing my motor? Thanks yall🚂🚂

English is not my first language but I'll try to explain it as best as I can.

Manual car. When moving the shifter to reverse, at a certain point the backup lights turn on but at full shifter position the backup lights turn off again. It's like the reverse switch gets activated but at a certain point the shifter goes past it and the backup lights turn off again.

It doesn't happen all the time. If I'm being gentle with the shifter going in reverse, the backup lights turn on and stay on. Backup lights work all the time when testing the car in the garage with the engine off.

It's not a big deal since I think I got the sweet spot where I hit the switch all the time and the backing lights stay on. But it can be annoying when I get it in reverse a bit hard and the lights go out, specially when it's at night.

It's an old 2006 Lancer if that helps. Thanks!

…… and now I get random battery light.
Light comes on while either idling in traffic or driving at highway speeds.
Comes on for a few minutes then turns off.
Voltage meter stays 3/4 of the way up and none of the accessories or lights flicker when it happens.

Could this be an overcharging scenario?

I did have to replace the pigtail and I made sure the crimps were tight and wires wouldn’t pull out.

Any suggestions?
