Chase Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 About to connect up the 4 abs wires. I've noticed the shielding on the abs wires from the RL unit has been twisted together and had solder added at the end. Also where these wires go into the RL main unit, there is a fifth wire, I assume this is the other end of the twisted together shielding. With me so far...Just want to know if this shielding needs to be connected to anything. Does it need to be connected to gnd or something??? Don't want to put my dash together to have to pull it all out again... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THOR Racing Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Shielding should normally be grounded at one end only. Not sure but the cable may be grounded at the control unit end. But... I've seen them grounded before on other installations so I'd say the best thing is to attach the shield to a chassis earth point.

Chase Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 FFS !! I've just put the dash back together aarrgghhh!!! Looking at the wiring though, there are defo 5 wires going into the RL unit, the 4 ABS + 1 shield. I'm gonna leave it and see what happens. Right then gonna get with laying on my back and cutting through injector wires. Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I didn't attach the shielding to anything and it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
