Haynes Automotive Electrics manual. Excellent - quite unlike Haynes car
manuals. Would also be worth looking in Maplin etc for basic books on
electronics. You need to know those basics before moving on to car stuff,
if you're ever going to understand them fully.

specialise in I think he said dash board electrpnics and auto-electrical
stuff.
