Battery Earth Lead?

Recommended Posts

mogsman

Hi all, just wondering where the green/yellow cable from the battery post should go to. I know the grey one goes to the top of the gearbox but the other one has been cut off.

Many thanks

Ian

Mine goes to the threaded hole, bolted to the wing just inbetween the strut turret and the windscreen washer bottle.

Thanks for the reply. I have one cable there already, so should I have only two cables?

Mine had 2 cables, one to gearbox and one to inner wing. Maybe someone added an extra to yours for an aftermarket part such as alarm etc and just chopped it on removal.

I have replaced the cable and now all the electrical problems have gone. Happiness once more.

They used to get very hot a few years ago. All is well for now.
