I have to replace the wiring harness on the S3, and the one supplied by the one who must be the only manufacturer! does not correspond exactly (modification to be made, lengthen shorten, modify), I also had to do it for the Sprint where I had to intervene and rectify! (known refrain)
Why not report it to these suppliers who could rectify it once and for all, as we all know how difficult it is to install correctly... without these connection problems on the dashboard.....
It would be good if someone specialised in our Elans could take this in hand and ask for it to be rectified for a correct installation
What do you think?

I agree.
I've just bought an S4 harness that came with issues. The issues were corrected immediately and without fuss, but that is not the point. The models have been around long enough to prevent these issues.
My supplier did not even specify what harness diagram he was working to. I believe it will keep happening.

Gentlemen,

It would be useful to know where the looms came from. This is probably the best way to narrow down who is doing the right quality of job.

I used an Autosparks loom on my S2, it was accurate apart from a single wire on the ignition side.

I think Autosparks supply most of the classic Lotus dealers.

While the S2’s may have more similar.
I always thought s3 & 4 had variants, placement of gauges etc :?:

Find out where the limits are, and start from there

I would like these suppliers to be contacted (I don't speak your language unfortunately), hence my request to avoid these confusions
A dedicated person, could if hooked!

The type 26 loom is reasonably simple, simple enough for me to cope with. The S3 loom has a circuit for the electric windows whilst the S4/Sprint loom has a separate engine bay loom - I think, I just pulled the loom out of my Sprint, but I'd have to go back and look at the photos.

Andrew! Looks like you linguistic skills are called for :-)
