Frax Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I have spent hours today trying to feed a wire through my galvanised chassis so I could pull the new wiring loom through. What an effin job that was , but in the end I got there. Next I decided to cover the new wiring loom in a rubber sheath so split some large fuel pipe down its length and covered the loom part that sits inside the chassis (just in case some galvanising cuts through my new loom. Well that all done it was time to try and pull the new loom through ------------------- Now my problem which end is which. Both end have the same amount of wires obviously but one end has a black wire with ring connector on it (presumably the chassis loom earth) the easy way to explain this is one end has a white connector all other connectors are black. I have had a look through RAVE Cd but the electrics are for a 1997 which is to new. My one is a 90 1995 pre ECU. Could anyone tell my which end is which or point me in the direction of a wiring diagram for my model . Thank you in advance for all yer help Regards Frax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 One end will have a few larger multi-connectors, the other end will likely have one larger multi-connector (for the tow pack) and then lots of smaller 2 and 3 way connectors for all the lights etc. The latter is the back end.

western Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 there's a bunch of black earth wires with ring terminations at the bulkhead end adjacent to the clutch pedal assembly. if this is a new loom, it should be exactly the same as the old loom & easy to ident the wire colours/loom front/rear end.

Frax Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hi and thank you. Ralph I have only one ring connector on a black wire and it is a new chassis loom. I would have checked this against my own loom and may well try to do this but my problem is the person or previous owners decided to cut up the loom and botch it up. Under the driver’s seat the loom was cut through and all wires to the back end have been run in various bits of cable, the front is not that much better. When I got it the fuel gauge did not work, stupid me thought it would just be a corroded connection or loose wire but no, there were no wires going to the sender unit. They had also removed the connector plugs on the bulkhead (what a job that turned out to be) I did eventually find the taped up wires and got it working, next no reversing light and no diff lock. This is why I thought I had better get a new loom for the rebuild. Regards Frax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
