TheHawk 0 Posted March 23, 2012 Hi there guys i have been working on my GR and when i brought it some monkey had already started work on the wiring and not labelled it up! I have managed to trace most wires back to there correct homes but a few are giving me a bit of grief and i was hoping to get a bit of assistance. The First bit of confusion starts at a black junction box coming of the battery that lots of things feed into i have a found a few things that go into but there are some gaps as you can see in the picture bellow. The next one is on of the connectors cracked in half pictured below next to the head light connector and im struggling to find a home for it. and finally this connector sits to the right of the rocker cover but im not sure what its for. Any help would be greatly appreciated i know some of these may be stupid questions but i am only 18 and still learning the ropes Much love Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,647 Posted March 23, 2012 gaps are normal, they'd be filled on higher spec vehicles looks like earth wires, check the numbers. for diagnostic purposes, engine speed sensor, not used these days unless you find someone with the very old dealer diagnostics kit.

Weser 30 Posted March 29, 2012 Hi guys thanks for the reply just a quick one does anyone know where the cracked earth plug would go? thanks for the replies Dale Next to the headlights there are usually earthing terminals connected to the chasis (well there is on my gti). Could try there for earthing if you have them? Unless someone knows better where they actually plug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonXS 30 1 Cars Posted April 15, 2012 hi dale, i finally got a day spare to look at the wires for you and the brown one that i have and believe is the same as yours, connects to a sensor thing on the front panel of the car (looks the same as the one on the top of the rad) or it could possibly be for spot lights? sorry for the late reply mate hope it helps jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allye 530 3 Cars Posted April 22, 2012 connects to a sensor thing on the front panel of the car (looks the same as the one on the top of the rad) or it could possibly be for spot lights? The one on the front panel of the car is indeed the dim/dip switch, the other small metal cylinder usually mounted on the radiator (if it hasn't fallen off by now) is the radiator fan switch.

pug_ham 243 3 Cars Posted April 26, 2012 The broken brown plug looks like to the side light or wing indicator repeater loom imo. g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
