help to identify wires
Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2021 5:19 am
Hi everyone,
It doesn't seem like this area has been active for a while but thought I would try my luck.
I was attempting to install an ignition switch relay today, however when I pulled the covers back I found a few things from the PO which I would like to get to the bottom of before I do anything else. (I'd like to add that the car is running and everything seems to be working, so there is no fault that I know of so far.)
Any size file I try to post says that it is too large, so I will have to try and explain it sorry.
There is a wire that has been piggy backed off of the white and black wire from the windscreen wiper stalk and has been attached to a red with black stripe wire on the right hand side of the steering wheel which disappears into the factory loom. I thought that I found it going to the wiper relay under the dash, however the red and black wire going to that has no continuity with this one. The original white and black wire does however have continuity to the wiper relay as it should.
I can not work out from the (questionable) diagrams that I have, what this red and black wire is supposed to be for, or why they would have done this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
On a side note, I found another pink wire floating in the same area that is energised by the ignition being turned on. If anyone has a clue about that, it would be very helpful also.
Kind regards
