Looking for advice. I've spent the last three months diagnosing an electrical issue on an SZ series 1988 Rolls Royce Silver Spur and have located the suspect wire on the starter circuit. I've got two questions:
1. Can anyone advise me on how to get a wire disconnected from an old Rists connector (looks like a 3mm female spade - see photo). There only seems to be one side I can get any kind of spiked tool into, but there isn't any prong in there from what I can tell. Is there some other wisdom I'm missing here that anyone can suggest?
2. I need to replace the wire which is on the starter circuit between the gearchange actuator and the starter relay. It looks like a 14 strand 0.5mm wire (including the insulation). How can I figure out what gauge I need to replace it with? The only fuses on the same circuit are 20 amp and 10 amp.
Am so close to solving this after endless tests, but am getting stumped on this last hurdle. Any advice would be warmly welcomed.
