I use this one, from the Wiki section of the site (workshop manual - electrical)

https://lotuselan.net/w/images/4/4f/Ela ... wiring.pdf

I enlarged the various sections, and made A4 laminated sheets so you don’t need a magnifying glass!
I used the modified fuse layout which works very well

Hello G
I agree with RichardS, I replaced my harness a short while back and found it pretty straight forward. I have for a long while also used the method of enlarging the diagram and laminating as it makes it much easier to read (especially for those of us with poorer eyesight).Besides being able to read a clean diagram with dirty hands and then wipe clean is worth the effort.

It is also a useful item then to pass on to the next owner. I also use the rear of the diagram to note any changes made (with suitable marker pen) as memory tends to fade over time and trying to recall changes can cause a bit of head scratching.

Another useful tip if the old harness is still in place, is to have the old and new harnesses in place so you can remove a wire and substitute the new wire which helps if you are unsure about following a diagram.

And of course there is always the forum members here to call on for help if necessary.
Let us know how you get on
