It is a heavy yellow wire that comes off the engine harness.

The engine harness plugs into the 12 pin connector on the rear end of the relay board. That same harness provides power to the coil, returns the tach signal to the tach, and the oil pressure sender signal to the light. So if it's missing, you are going no where fast.......

We had the wire going to connection #50 on the starter break up in the wire harness on one of our 914s and the wire dissappeared. I had to cut open the harness carefully and there was the end of the bright yellow wire and spliced a new section to it with new spade lug and recovered the harness.

Whooo Hoooo. Got the starter wire figured out.

There's two more wires that kind of were wrapped with the fat yellow one. Any ideas what these are for??

Then there's the rest of 'em... They bore the brunt of an engine fire before I got the car.....

Someone has to have the schematic for these wires coming off that relay board.. right?

Holy crap! I just found the thread where Dave D. and Sir Andy step up to the plate and lay it all out. Wow!!!!

No more questions here..
Thank you Sir Andy~~!!

I think it's your reverse lights,, they connect to the little white connector on the transmission's left side near the starter.

I hope this helps.
