does someone know where these wires/connections are for?

i'm talking about the saphh. 2wd cossie

this one is located at the front;


could this be the temperature sensor?
If so, where to mount it then???



and this one comes from the starter motor; don't know where to connect it, i dont even know why it's there and why it's for (NO, i dont remove it ) cant find anything about it in the Workshop manual

I'm sure you could connect it anywhere, as long as it has a good earth.

the top pictures are the ice warning temperature sensor it mounts on the front of the lower crossmember (the one behind the front bumper), but doesn't really matter.

the bottom pic? this wire comes from the starter motor, or goes to the starter motor? sorry, i don't properly understand the question? the only connections that look like that as far as i can remember are the temp sender on the cylinder head, or more likely the oil pressure switch that is screwed into an adaptor on the turbo oil feed hose near to the starter motor.

what's your question on the brake cylinder earths? there are a couple of brown earth wirse that bolt to the hydraulic brake unit. these wires are part of the abs loom and are the earths for the abs motor and pressure switches and stuff. does that help you?

hope that helps.

Spiky, i don't have a wire on the OIL pressure at the mo.

i have already one wire on the starter motor and that's a black/blue coloured one.
the wire (brown/green coloured) i am talking about comes from the mainbeam and goes together with the black/blue coloured wire (black/blue wire is already connected to the starter motor!)

would be if you could take a look
