Redtop Lower Harness... people in the middle of swaps check this too!

[otterman]

I pulled my lower wiring harness to cut a problem with a cut/melted wire. When I pulled it I noticed a black and brown wiring hanging out that I couldnt find a connection to.

The black wire is spliced and was barely poking out the harnes sleeving. The brown was hanging beside the oil pressure sensor and is just as long as the oil pressure sensor. Both these wires were in the same sleeving as the oilpressure sensor wire.

Can anyone identify these wires? Any of you guys in the middle of swaps check your harness and see if you can locate these wires?

Heres some pics:

Crappy pic showing the length of the brown wire before I took off the sleeving and found the black.

i didnt bother to read anything you wrote..

But that sensor you have in the first pic is the oil pressur switch.

So convenient of you to type that you didnt bother to read anything you wrote, as he he states that the wire is a oil pressure switch.. Sigh. Thats why you should read. I've seen the brown wire on the body harness (our stock 240sx body harness is a little different than others like a ca18det/ never checked an sr) and I believe its the plug thats near the fuse box for the body harness (where the air intake is at) has that brown wire. Im not sure what its for but If I had to guess, it would be for the sender for the headlights (remember the ghetto way to have sleepy eyes is to cut the brown wire. Hope that helps.

there is more than just one brown wire under the hood of a 240, and its in the wrong place to have anything to do with the headlights or air intake

Otterman, Ive got that wire too, almost 2 years and its not plugged in to anything, I also have some odd 2 wire plug on that harness that doesnt go to anywhere, who did your wiring, you could possibly call them and ask them if they know what its for.

I got the car with the swap done already. I sometimes regret not doing it myself. lol Thanks for the help.

I never said/typed that it was the only brown wire. Please look at a diagram and look at the wiring on the main harness, body harness, and engine harness before making remarks. And btw this is for his s13 not s14 so hopefully you didnt confuse that.

my S14 isnt my first SR powered car, I had a white 91 hatch befor, and my brain wasnt working this morning I didnt get my coffe and ciggarette befor work so I was about 25% retarded when I got on the computer

and BTW the ghetto way to get sleepy eyes is to unplug the motors and manualy twist them half way up
