stuntman Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hello one and all. I have 2 questions if anyone can help. I have a new wiring loom (it has the twin row blade fusebox) I have installed this but I'm struggling with how to connect up the ignition barrel. It's a 5 pin ignition barrel from paddocks, the blades are numbered 1-5. I really need help with what to connect up and how it goes. The next question is the following, Where the engine wiring loom connects to the main loom. I need to know what each colour wire does, I am making a new wiring loom for my mazda SL3500tdi engine and so I need to know what I'm connecting it up to. I know this may be asking alot but please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOJO90 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Not sure if this is same or not. My defender is a 1984 2.5NA diesel and does not have glow plug relay. I have rebuit my loom and by using a battery and test lamp have sussed out the following for my loom. Since I am not yet on the road I have not been able to fully test but what I have tested seems to be OK. Terminal 5 = Brown cable thick - main feed from altenator Terminal 1 = white cable - Ignition feed to fuse box Terminal 2 = Brown/Red cable thick - to glow plugs (non-relay type wiring) Terminal 3 = White/orange cable - to ignition fuse no 4 then to heater blower motor and to white cable that goes to the fule shut off valve Terminal 4 = white/red cable - to starter motor relay and to brake check relay. I have done some 'reduction' in wires as my loom was from a later truck (not installed by me) and I have simplified it so there may be some differences in colours and final destination. Hope this is of help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
