« on: 07 September 2013, 20:42 »
Hi fella's getting close with my wiring on my mk abf but just have a few wires I cant identify
First is a black/white from plug g2
Second is a black/red from plug g1

Also can I bin the brown earth or do I need it .
Next is the 3 pin connector off the engine loom above the gearbox

Thanks in advance

looks like fuse box plugs to me. if your car has the hazard light switch on the dash then its a ce1 electrics. if it has the switch between the clocks and steering wheel then its ce2. if its ce1 the plugs wont fit and will need splicing as the ce1 had round terminals and ce2 were flat. if your 5 mins from Trafford centre you could be within shouting distance of me lol. im just off princess road.

not sure on the others to be honest. do they go to the ecu? are all other sensors hooked up? and have you tried starting it yet?

All the information you'll ever need :)   http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html

3 pin plug is for the electronic speedo drive on an 02a box, just cable tie it out the way. If you have kept the original main earth for your ce1 fusebox then yeah you can ditch the ce2 brown earth wire.  :smiley:
