Lewis Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Can anyone help me with this, I'm putting my 90 back together after changing the bulkhead and I've made a bit of a schoolboy error; when I stripped the loom I methodically marked all the plugs except one This two pin comes from either the transmission or the chassis I think, the wiring colours are white/grey and green/black, there is also a single terminal white/purple with it Does anyone know where I need to plug them in or what they do? There is also this six way connector on the engine bay side of the dash loom which only has two terminals used, I'm fairly sure that there were no other terminals plugged into this connector when I started to strip the car but now I have the spare wires above I'm starting to doubt myself Any assistance great fully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Which model/year? Green/black fuel gauge, white/slate low fuel I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks, any idea where I'm supposed to plug them into? It's a 1986 90 2.5petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Can you find the moulded plug with the corresponding colours feeding into the dash loom? The colours mentioned are for the instrument panel. I think the white/purple is the interior light feed on earlier models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 white/slate = low fuel warning light connect to it's matching mate in the multi connector. white/purple = fuel pump rear tank [if twin tank system is fitted] green/black = fuel gauge from tank sender unit have you got a wiring diagram ?

Lewis Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks guys, this is really helpful I've not got a diagram no Ralph I'll look again tomorrow but presumably I have something else plugged in incorrectly or I have misplaced a plug as at present there is no mating plug for this tank loom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 IIRC the tank connector fit in one of the bigger connectors, just match the wire colour codes it'll only fit one way. PM your email & I'll sort wiring diagrams from my workshop manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 wiring diagram for 2.5 petrol engined 90/110, if you need any others just shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks Ralph, that's a great help I'm pottering about in the garage today so I've had another look at this problem, and now I'm not convinced there is a problem There appears to be an overlay loom with the same connectors and wire colours which I had marked up prior to stripping and now is plugged back in as it should be. I'll have to whip the drivers seat base out and check which of these seemingly duplicate looms is actually in use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 wonder if a 2nd chassis harness has been fitted by a previous owner to cure a wiring fault in the past, once you've identified which is the 'in use' & 'not used' looms, I'd take the not used one off the vehicle. will save confusion in the future.
