Attention! Before carrying out any work on the electrical system, read the warnings given in paragraph "Safety first!" at the beginning of this guide and chapter 5.
The electrical system is 12V with a negative ground wire. As a power source for lighting fixtures and all electrical equipment of the car, an acid battery with lead plates is used, recharged by a generator.
This chapter describes the repair and maintenance of various electrical devices and systems that are not related to the engine. Information regarding the battery, ignition system, alternator and engine starter is contained in chapter 5A.
In order to prevent short circuit and/or fire, before working on any of the components of electrical equipment, it is necessary to disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery (see chapter 5A).
