Name that plug take 2!

Another round of everyone's favorite game! Putting the dash back together, looks like the previous owner was a fan of cutting, splicing and generally f@&%ing things up. But I have located the majority of plugs and wires. These are the ones I have left over…



2 point plug with red/white and black/white

Black/blue wire on its own just floating around

Thin brown with tiny spade on the end

Small bulb holder with white/lightblue and brown. This looks like an alarm tell, but no sign of an alarm anywhere on the car.

And i've just noticed looking at the picture that one of the plugs has an un connected point on the back, so possibly I have the plugs on wrong!

One wire I can help with is Brown is always an earth some where!

Have you got a better picture of the wiring spliced into the wiring by the switch to where it goes?
The radio is fitted in this area so the wiring does get attacked with scotch locks if they can't find the factory wiring.

As above, pretty sure the brown goes on the back of one of the fascia switches, caught me out once if I remember correctly

2 pin is for the MFA, goes to the black of the clocks.

black/blue needs a spade on it and it pops to pin 15 of the hazard light switch

brown is an earth for one of the illumination bulbs as said, iirc its for the hazard switch again

bulb holder look around in the switches, ciggy lighter  and heater panel looking for something without a bulb in. again, probably the hazard switch. if its only got 1 wire to it, the brown wire above is the other wire it needs ;)
