I have a 914/6 and I need some wiring help. The attached photo shows the engine compartment wiring harness (behind the engine) with a green wire that I do not know what it should attach to. I don’t have a wiring diagram. The photo is of the portion of the harness branching off from behind the engine to the alternator.

Where does the temperature sensor wiring go and what color is it? Does it go to the rear of the engine wiring bundle or the bundle in front of the engine?

Away from home right now so can not consult diagram but it is green and runs from the instrument bezel to the relay board connector. Can not recall which terminal number If you go behind the temp/ fuel gage you will find a loose solid green wire. That is it. It is in the main bundle coming out of the cabin. I do not believe that it went past the relay board into the engine harness but it might Sorry I do not have the diagram handy to confirm the terminal. Anybody else have theirs available to check ?? |

OK, that is the gauge end. How about the sensor end? |

OK, that is the gauge end. How about the sensor end? the solid green wire comes from the gage pod into the relay board via the male/ female connector on the relay board. It is then routed via the relay board to a terminal on the engine harness connector but there was no green wire from the connector into the engine harness on my car If there is one in your engine harness, I would suspect it was added later by someone or maybe your engine harness is from a sporto car?? In my case, I added a green wire to the engine harness and ran it out to a combination switch/pressure sensor mounted where the the oil pressure light switch sensor is normally mounted. Had to add a female pin receptacle to the connector to connect to the green wire via the relay board. I guess that is what the factory did on the sporto cars unless the sporto cars had a unique engine harness that included the green wire. i do not recall (but can,t confirm) that there were any other solid green wires in the engine harness. If it is going to your alternator it could only be that someone added it to some other color wire that may have broken, in which case you can only solve it by peeling back the harness tape to reveal a splice or go to work with a multimeter to determine continuity of the mystery green wire Good luck. I hope that helped |
