One suspect... I'm not saying this is right though... a blue/green wire is listed as going from connection K5 ( connector block, round prongs, back of fuse panel), to coolant level low warning switch via connector T7a/3. But T7a/3 is, I think, in engine compartment. K5, according to wiring diagram, is linked (within fuse box) to connector B14, which is another round prong connector in a connector block on back of fuse panel. this does not seem to make any sense with the dangling wire you mention.
wait, hold the phone, another blue/green shows as connecting to C11 on back of fuse panel, but no, C11 is a round prong connector in multiconnector block. This wire goes to ox sensor elapsed mileage counter...
hey, no charge for muddying the waters. cheers alistair

It is very difficult, in that rat's nest back there to see, but I don't see anywhere it should connect to. It comes out of a small bundle with red/gray, brown/blue and gray/black wires, and those wires go into some as yet unidentified connector on the back of the panel. The van is '88 Westy, with AT, power mirrors, power door locks, power windows and cruise control. I have a Bentley, but my mind is drawing a blank these days. This is the "cranks, no start" van, but I will try to summarize what I have done in another msg. So, any idea what this wire might be for? Thanks, Jerry |
