Clueless In Sandland
My starter harness finally arrived and when I went to fit it today, found that the original one had been modified.
On the new harness, at the starter motor end, is a plug with a black and purple wire in it. Is that for the theft interrupt relay? What ever it's for, on my original harness, the plug had been cut off and the purple wire terminated with tape. The black wire has had a small crimp put on the end and was over the small terminal on the starter motor. Does that sound like it's been done to take the theft relay out of the system? Oh, there's no earth wire anywhere near the starter like was pointed out to me in another thread??
What is the relay (I assume it's a relay) on the passenger side firewall near the blower motor? Coming out of the same loom as that relay is a tan wire, with a large ring crimp on it that reaches as far as the alternator if I pulled it across then engine. Any idea what it's for and where it goes?
Last one. Is the threaded hole in the block, below the dipstick for the oil temperature sensor? If so, is there only one wire going to it? I have a yellow wire dangling down in that area but my wiring diagram shows there should be orange and tan/white.
Sorry for the dullard questions but it's been ages since I removed these parts and some of the photo's I took at the time have since become corrupted.
