I've been working on the wiring in my 914, rodents seem to have eaten the front harness in half. I've made a lot of progress, but am unsure of where some wires lead to. The wires in question are a brown wire and a brown wire with a white stripe coming from the fuse panel that splits off and leads to the brake warning light switch. Could someone tell me where these wires lead to?
I think they may lead to the headlight cleaning system relay but I don't have that option. I have looked on a wiring diagram and neither of the wires are listed. Attached are pictures of the front of the car. The wires are on the drivers side near the brake fluid resevoir. Thanks, Robert Attached thumbnail(s)

The 2 red wires against the brake reservoir do not look like stock wires. The brown one does look stock and it is commonly the ground, unless the PO did something. You need to trace those 2 red wires back to the fuse panel and see if they have been attached to any other wires and where they are attached to the fuse panel. Once you find out, where/what they are attached to, you can probably use the wiring diagrams to figure out where they are suppose to go to. For the brown & white wire use the same approach and find where it is attached to on the fuse panel. After all that you will need a multimeter to check if the wires are still good. The resistance for the wires are listed on the diagrams, if I remember correctly.
The diagrams are available for free on Pelican Parts and are in color opposed to the Haynes manual which is in black & white. To be honest, it looks like the previous owner did a lot of splicing to your harness in the picture. |
