When my autoelectrician unravelled the wiring loom that runs along the bulk head.. by the alloy brake distributer block on the left hand side under battery there was a single wire (brown with red stripe) with a black connector on it with a male spade. Can't see what it would plug into and its quite short so doesn't reach much.. diagnostic port? or something else?

 

do the escort cosworths have the ford alarm horn in the battery tray bit like other escorts....

it may be off that horn.

 

Mine has one,it goes inside the car through the bulkhead bung and plugs into a cable under the glovebox....

Don`t know what it`s for yet though...

 

oil pressure for centre console gauge.

 

 

not for centre console guage, mine was as nightdavva said, inside the car, its for some sort of switched earth as its the same type/colour as the a pillar door pin switches..

 

Well everything works so I'm just going to wrap it back up into the loom


EDIT quite thought is there a light or any type of switch in the glove box?

 

same as mine

no idea what its for thogh...

 

lookin at the pic again..... the other end (which i though that was) is near the fuse box, when you dro it down its there - but for no apparent purpose- just taped to the loom ..?..?

 

Could it be anything Water injection related?

 

maybe...? or a spare wire thats from the normal escort loom cary-over..?

or maybe somthing for the Air con, as it goes near the intake for the blower - maybe to switch from fresh air to recirc..?

 

Well its another cossie mystery

 

deffo not to do with aircon

 

Could be wire for aircon cut off when in full throttle ? just a guess

 

Its not linked to the engine management in any way mate....
