Fiddling around in the engine (stock 1.7) the other night, I came across two wires that were: 1) green w/ black stripe 2) green w/ red stripe They came out of the harness in the engine thats just to the right of the air filter and below the distributor (looking down at the engine). I looked at some wiring diagrams and it seems like they might be for the liscense plate lights or something to that effect? Anyone have an idea? sorry I dont have pics right now, but I can get some tonight if need be. |

green/red is oil pressure wire
green/black..... can't see the wiring diagram well enough... will try again later, but they surely are not license plate lights, not around the engine... |

Green-Red is the oil pressure idiot light wire *goes from the sender just below the Dizzy.
I think Green-Black is for the oil temp sender (taco-plate on the bottom of the engine) Your car may not have come with an oil-temp gauge and that's a dummy. Or it did. (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/parts/Electrical/914_electric_73C.jpg) |

Yes, green/black is oil temp sender. The wire is there in the harness even if you don't have the gauge.
