One last question tonight...., where does this wire go? Options

[billh1963]

The wiring on this car is a mess....very few electrical items are working and I'm beginning to see why.

While putting together my plan of attack to pull the transmission tomorrow (if it's not too cold), I noticed this wire (clearly a hot wire) just hanging in space. Since the starter works fine, any ideas on where this goes? I'm looking at the wring diagram but I don't have enough 914 experience to figure it out yet.

I think 904SOV may have where the wire goes, but I think it is time to get a good volt/ohm meter and start tracing some of these suggestions to verify them to the wiring schematic. This is the start off learning the wiring requirements.

When you are in an area such as the engine, ask yourself what can a specific wire go to and where would it be used. The wire is a B+ wire and looks like it is the right size required in the Alternator. Anyway, it looks like it can take a fairly large load.

Take your time and enjoy learning the wiring problems. Give yourself time and you will surprise even yourself; double checking is always a must when dealing with electric problems. Try to understand the sub-systems an how the are wired.
