The Saint Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Now I have the drivers seat out and can see what is actually under there and since my car no longer has most of it's electrical systems. I thought I would take out the redundant ones. What electrickery do I have under my drivers seat. I know the big box is the ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 That's all needed Except MAYBE the fan relay, for cars with air con it ran the fans after stopping IIRC. Small relays are fuel pump and ECU relays, red wire thingy is the 'tune resistor' and the white plug with black wire looks like it is something to do with the autobox inhibit switch -which makes me think it's not actually wired in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash.Witty Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The white plug is a diagnostic port, doen't give out fault codes but allows you to watch live data. TPS, Lambda probes, water temp, air flow, rpm, fuel temp.etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missingsid Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Looking at the photo it appears to me that there is a plunger switch to reset the injection pump inertia switch, is it in the run or off position? Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 When i took the seat off, the plunger was down. I thought it was an unusual feature and put it up for the photos. The RR still starts with the plunger in the up position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hmm, you might want to find out if it is wired in? looking at these photos reminded me that my low pressure electric pump does not stop in an accident i guess it was only considered a problem when fuel injection was used due to high pressure?

The Saint Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Whilst we are on the subject of my trucks electrics. Can anybody tell me what the broken switch below the wiper stalk does/did ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rqsall Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Rear window wipe (pull towards you), and rear window wash & wipe (push away from you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 When i took the seat off, the plunger was down. I thought it was an unusual feature and put it up for the photos. The RR still starts with the plunger in the up position. Some setups didn't use the inertia-switch; they had instead a 3-terminal oil-pressure-light switch. One terminal fired the oil-pressure-light, the other 2 terminals had the fuel-pump wired through them so if the engine stalled and you got zero oil-pressure the fuel-pump was shut off. There was usually a diode fitted too, so the fuel-pump got fed power when you were actually cranking the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Rear window wipe (pull towards you), and rear window wash & wipe (push away from you) Thanks. Since I don't have a rear window, that's not really a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
