Title: ground wire!
Post by: Notis_kr_16v on 27 February 2008, 08:09

hello i might need a little help with this.the car is a mk2 16v make year '89 the clocks at the dashboard has two conectors one black at the left side and one white at the right side.
at the right side (white conector) a braun cable is of the conector and there are a few empty positions on the conector to fit in!
what is the right place to put in?does any one know where each color of the cables goes?
i am asking this because my water and oil temp gauge acting a little funny when the radiator fan kicks in.

hi mate that brown wire is an earth, it could be the one that goes to bulk head behind the clocks or possibly it should run to the earth on the rocker cover if the rev counter is working ok then its probably the bulk head earth
pm rubjohnny and he will tell you for definite  :smiley:
