western Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I would go & look at my 110 for you but it's peeing with rain & don't want to get soaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 ok iv found 2 plugs with 2 wires on each green and black and white and light grey the one from the chassis loom has a single white and purple wire going to it and the one from the bulkhead loom has one wire pluged in to a multy plug also from the bulkhead loom the guage works but no warning light .both plugs are the same so they wont fit together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 green and black trace signal from tank sender to fuel gauge white and light grey trace from tank sender to low fuel level warning light white and purple trace [not required for in tank fuel pump] this can be left unplugged what colour code wire is in the one from the bulkhead loom has one wire pluged in to a multy plug it's stopped raining now, so I'll have a look on my 110.

western Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Find your 10 way moulded rubber multi plug with the 2 way plug [green/black trace & white/slate grey trace wires] this 2 way [see 2 way plug photo below] fits in the 10 way multi plug as in the 10 way multiplug 1 & 2 photo's below. as for the white/purple trace find your 8 way multiplug & the white/purple trace fits the upper right as in the photo's below these should get you sorted, also behind instrument pack is a relay aka low fuel control unit, check it's intact & operates.

trickydicky Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think what could have happened is the pin in the multiplug may have snapped off at some stage and filled with carp I thought it was blank ill have to take a better look tomorrow thanks for the pics western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 hi western I'm still trying to sort it but no luck can you possibly tell me the exact colour of the wire that the white and grey wire plugs in to on the ten way multiplug (its only a 9 way multyplug on mine) iv scaled the internet for 5 months but they all say green with orange trace but I don't seem to have one .the warning light on the dash also has a white and grey trace . many thanks richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 low fuel level is the same colour code from tank sender to dash warning light -- white/slate grey tracer, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Green/Orange trace is Td5 on with ABS wiring, & Orange/Green trace is Td5 on with water seperator to dash warning light these so that won't be in your or my looms. unleess the Td5 instrument pack is retrofitted.

Chambo110 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Reviving an old one.. I have a white/slate trace that looks broken off.. guessing it’s the low fuel light... however, the double plug as Ralph’s pic above with the white slate and green black, on mine it A doesn’t plug in anyway, Male&female to 2xfemales and B if it did then the green/ black would marry up but the white slate would marry to a slate/red trace ?? hopefully pic below will explain better than my words lol Was a 2.5td now a 200tdi 1987 have I got a different look going inside to dash ?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Just put a bullet terminal on the broken wire & connect it to its mate, that should restore your low fuel warning. That 2 pin goes into the 10 way big socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo110 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 But does it matter that if I do that then his mate will be slate red ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 IIRC & looking at my 2.5 diesel wiring diagram the low fuel wire [white/slate] goes direct to the low fuel light in dash, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo110 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Had dash apart now.. again. it seems white /slate is also at the plug on back of dash bulb. Definitely can’t see a white slate at the 10way multi plug though ?? Strange one. anyway.. at least pulling the warning panel off did highlight one thing. The printed circuit to the low fuel bulb is knackered 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 so, anyone got a printed circuit going ?? cheers again Ralph 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I'm pretty sure there isn't a slate/red or red/slate on the 10 way plug I'll have another look tomorrow, A busted printed circuit won't help, Blanchards £22 https://pablanchard.co.uk/Printed-Circuit-Board-for-Dash-Warning-Lights-AEU2721 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll check again tomorrow when I’m less frustrated. It’s opposite the green black so would make sense to be part of the 2way plug that goes next to the 8 way in order to make up the 10. mind you when i took the 2way plug off it obviously wasn’t connected properly due to the m/f on 1 side and the F/F on the other. It had been rotated 90deg in order to connect just the green/blacks together Printed circuit ordered thanks for link 👍 Edited June 19, 2021 by Chambo110 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 White/slate is the low fuel warning light on the dash to the sender. I didn't come across any red/slate wires when I did my rewiring. The closest is white/orange which is a supply from the ignition switch. Try earthing the wire at the sender and see if the low fuel light illuminates on the dash when you have connected the wiring up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 White/orange is a ignition switch feed for Air con system when fitted on pre 300tdi vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 It isn't on mine. From memory I think it was feeding the radio (where fitted) and the heater fan. I'll have to have a look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Something not quite right with that 10 way plug Chambo, went and checked mine over. Same as Westerns, 2x 4way connectors and the slate/white and green/black 2 way on the end. Red/Slate is to do with ABS or engine management light Slate/Red is transmission temp warning light 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
