alan7 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Just taken the Scuttle off OMG the dash must have been wired by an Italian - there's so much spaghetti Q1 the unplugged black diagnostic plug - is it needed or can I take all the wires off? I've traced the wires to the immobiliser, fuel pump fuse & "engine diagnostic" plug. Q2 the wiring diagram shows an "engine diagnostic plug" - any idea where it is? Q3 all the earth wires go back to the wiper motor mounting bolt - is there a better place so I can reduce the cable run? Bound to be more Q when I start digging deeper. Thanks Al How do you get the dead flies off your teeth....... 😬 R5AAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racing Snake Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Alan plenty of room for improvement After seeing the job done on the Linds machine the Caterham loom looks like Carp When i do mine i will make 2 seperate looms, one for anything that runs the engine and one for the rest And keep it simple, should save 3 - 4 kgs Mad Hatter The Dura Mentalist 😬 Carl @ Penn 7's Caution - May Contain Nuts !

My engine diagnostic plug is under the dash on the right. it's an OBD2 plug and it will be needed if you want the ecu played with although mines getting cut out but I'm fitting another smaller, neater version in the engine loom. Mine is also getting two looms, one engine related and one for everything else. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan7 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Agree, it is a nightmare. ☹️ I don't think I'll want to play with the ECU so it can come out. 2 looms looks like the way to go How do you get the dead flies off your teeth....... 😬 R5AAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
