Chris Wilson Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Some warning light and gauge functions are in the engine loom, AFAIK, things like O/P warning light switch, water temp sender. Are any charging and starter connections in the main loom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I've been slowly going this this over the last few days and as Chris says there are certainly some controls which use the engine loom. The lights and indicators don't and as far as I can find the ABS doesn't appear to either. The AC certainly does and many of the warning systems do. I've got all the wiring diagrams printed out and will be going through the pinouts on the fusebox and the large orange plugs in the footwell to see what is on the loom. Sorry I can't be of more help... yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 There are a few bits, but I could only point them out being upside and underneath the dash, but I'll go through the wiring diagrams and junction diagrams and see if I can put something together for you.
