Wiring Help, Where do these wires go? Options

[Robert_C]

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

We had to replace all the wires going from the fuse panel to the windshield wiper motor, the fuel tank sending unit, defroster blower/fan, and the brake light warning switch. Luckily the wiring going to the headlights, etc was entact. The rodent that got in there must have had a field day because there was nearly 6 inches of wiring missing from those components. The car had been sitting for nearly 7 years when I got it so who knows what made their nest in front trunk.

The two red wires in the picture (which we added) run from the main harness where they enter the trunk all the way to the brake warning light switch (they were originally brown (the ground) and brown with a white stripe. In between there the wires split off and go to another component but what component is the question. The attached picture from my Haynes manual looks as if the wires go to the headlight cleaning system relay because of the location in the picture next to the resevoir.

Another question for you. Could anybody tell me how many wires they have going to their fuel tank sending unit and to which location/terminal? The little varmint also chewed those wires up. There's nothing attached to the tank and the wiring diagrams that I have seen leave a little to be desired making it hard to distinguish to which terminal they would attach.

The wiring diagram indicates the colors are black, brown, and green which checks out with the remnants we found. But as the picture shows, there are four terminals on the sending unit (pictured). If you reply, please reference the terminals starting at the top, that being the 12 o'clock position and the brass terminal being the 6 o'clock position.

Thanks again,
Robert

No. Only 3 terminals. If you look closely, you can see that the 4th is just a locator pin for the black plastic plug.

I'm not sure of the configuration of the three wires, i'm not near my 914 right now.
