ronttuk Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've fitted a jspec tailgate to my UK spec but the electrics don't work do they have different looms or have I missed a plug out somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Should be the same, id imagine. Theres a plug behind the passenger qtr glass trim, from there on everything should connect to the loom, brake light uks had blanks but the looms were still there and the wiper motor should plug in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Some of the older UK's never had the wiring for the third brake light from memory, though I'm not sure at what point the loom was active. Is it just the third brake light? EvinX was the loom complete all the way to the tailgate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 As above I've heard this, but on our 93 UK spec the wiring loom was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 As above I've heard this, but on our 93 UK spec the wiring loom was there. The wiring loom is there on all of the UK's to plug into the 3rd brake light if you add one, but the problem is it's not wired up to anything lol. We traced mine back many many years ago to the top of the passenger rear quarter light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We traced mine back many many years ago to the top of the passenger rear quarter light. Well unless the owner before we got it (IIRC about 18 years ago) connected it up it's always worked. The only time I've touched it was when I change the light as a couple of the lamps had gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blythmrk Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yep wired mine to the brake light on my 93 UK one as the wire went nowhere I honestly thought it would just plug in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Just swap the UK loom over to the Jspec lid, easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
