Wire Identification

[Jonmurgie 2]

When I fitted the Mi16 into my 205 it was pulled out of a 309 so had already had the loom converted to clip straight into the 2 brown multiplugs under the steering column in the 205 main loom so I totally didn't have to think about it at all!

 

Now that I'm going for a new engine loom I wanted to just confirm exactly what each of the wires in the clips are for so we can wire in the new loom correclty. So could anyone with far more knowledge that myself confirm the following wires:

 

 

 

I've numbered them for easy reference.

 

Cheers for your help guys

9 Pin Brown connector

 

1. Reverse light (wire 52, brown)

2. Reverse light (wire 53, purple)

3. Coolant light (wire 47, yellow)

4. Coolant meter (wire 47a, red)

5. Alternator (wire 7a, brown thin wire)

6. Oil pressure meter (wire 30, lilac)

7. Oil temp meter (wire 30a, white)

8. Oil pressure light (wire 30b, grey)

9. Switched positive (wire 2, light blue)

 

6 Pin Brown connector

 

1. Coolant fluid level (wire 47b)

2. Fuel pump (wire 76)

3. Coolant fluid level (wire M47B)

4. RPM meter (wire 112)

5. K-Light (wire 74)

6. Starter motor (wire 46)

 

The wires themselves should have numbers on them

Hope that helps mate.

Cheers buddy... that's fantastic

 

On the 6 pin plug I only have 5 wiresso am I missing the Coolant Fluid Level then? I'm sure I've seen the light work!

 

I've seen the numbers on the wires, but previous atempts on other wires to locate and identify them in the Haynes Manual failed miserably

Jon, some of the looms have the starter and positive wires swapped round, so my long brown plug had the starter wire through it (46B) and my smaller brown plug had the switched positive supply through it (2)

 

And mine were different colours as well Wire 2 on mine was red, 46B was light blue.

 

I didn't have the coolant level thing either on the small plug, just fuel pump (76), tacho (112) earth (141) and positive supply (2).

No worries Jon

 

could anyone with far more knowledge that myself confirm the following wires:

 

Cool, where do I sign up for Pitcrew then

See you've taken that out of context... I mean far more knowledge about WIRING as it's not something I profess to even know the first thing about, I leave that for the wiring experts

tbh, you could have found it in 1 min by using search.

 

and i know for certain, as i have searched for it recently!

[Jonmurgie 2]

Well I wasn't sure on the search TBH and I thought a nice clear picture would be handy for any future searches... still, done now so

Only just remembered about this (after AlistairH linked to this topic).

 

The plug pictured above & the list from Sam don't match.

 

You can see the fuel pump wire (#76) is in pin 1 on the plug.

 

You then have;

• Earth (green & yellow)
  
• Rev counter wire (112B).
  
• The thin red wire (74a) comes out the other side of the plug as wire 32a.
  
• Thick red wire goes in as 2 & out as 2a to the coil
  

The nine pin plug sounds right but the order & one of wires is different on the two looms I have neaby from 1991 cars but the list below is from the complete loom I have out for fitting with the MM8P but from the engine side of the plug;

• Pin 1; wire #52.
  
• [Pin 2; wire #53.
  
• Pin 3; wire #47.
  
• Pin 4; wire #47A
  
• Pin 5; wire #7A.
  
• Pin 6; wire #30.
  
• Pin 7; wire #30A.
  
• Pin 8; wire # 30B.
  
• Pin 9; wire # 46B
  

Which match Sam's list except for pin 9 which on mine are the starter motor solenoid wire which I've just checked on the car.
