Stripping out the engine loom on the cossie come across a few issues

Right this the lamba plug




And found this behind the battery







Some of the cable goes the to the plug iin the first plug and the rest come out of the engine loom

any help and whats what will be brilliant as im fuckin stuck badly

 

IIRC Plug behind the battery is for the clocks - Tacho wire, water temp, oil light.

Lambda plug is there on all 4x4's but only used on the facelift (green cam cover) engines.

 

cheers paul theres some thick live wires there thiough

 

any chance jay that its a breakout terminal for checking ecus by ford technicans as it looks similar to the ecu to loom connector behind the dash

 

IIRC (again ) they are for the Bank of relays under the dash near the ECU.

I take it you are changing to an aftermarket loom?

 

Yes mate new ecu and loom and im not sure if i have to live any of that up or take lives ect for the new ecu

 

I'm pretty sure I used those lives for my Prometheus loom. However, the loom we are putting into the old Reyland Cosworth has it's own new lives to connect up.

You'll really have to look at the new loom and go from there!

 

I might be looking to far into it Paul and getting stressed with it and dont want cut or unplug stuff that will effect the car in other ways

 

It won't affect anything. The only 'integrated' bits on an original Cosworth engine loom are the dash clock gauge wires. You can remove the loom everything on the car bar the engine lol will still work

 

Great Paul thanks for your time much appreciated

 

No problem - I've been staring at this for weeks so it's all pretty fresh in my mind

The looms are actually done quite a smart way by Ford. All the looms seem to be seperate. The ABS system wiring, engine wiring, charging/starter, lights and fan looms etc are all separate bits. Whereas on an Escort they are all together and a massive pain in the arse if you want to change management

 

This might help Jay

 

Jay are these the colours on that plug - you may not have all those colours.


Green- Rev Counter
Br/Wt- Water Temp
Blk /Red - Fuel Pump
Black - Ignition
Blue - Batt L;ight
Red/Blu- 12v
Brn/Gn- Oil Pressure Light


You can make the connections to your new loom for Rev Counter, Water Temp & Ignition at this plug saves going to the binacle. Just look at your circuit diagram.


If in doubt give us a bell.

 

why is the loom out?! lol

 

Thanks to everyone Rod on the end of the phone and I am on the the way to sorting it

Should of got a 2wd less confusing:cr y:

 

glad u got it sorted as i was going to reply.
Dont the 4x4 engine loom go into.the main fuse box for relays.

 

By the looks of it it is partly and has fuel and coil relays on the engine loom to

 

its jay ... im confused as to why your asking mate
by now its probably been stripped and most of it sold ...
