Each weekend I have made a little progress on my breather box replacement project, which has also become a rewiring/ vacuum line/ heater hose etc. project. I think I have everything squared away (even found a supplier for the bosch connectors that go to the temperature sensor , cpr, etc.) I am down to replacing the last two bare wires coming out of the grey connector, but am uncertain of two things:
There are two wires on terminal 50 of the solenoid, bunched together on one female spade connector. (yellow/blue and maybe yellow/green - not much insulation left to see) One of them obviously goes up to the grey connector on the firewall (I get continuity to there) but where does the other one go? I'd like to just replace and rerout the whole thing but don't want to leave something out of the circuit. I'm guessing one wire must go somewhere other than the grey connector, or else why are there two?
The other issue is the brown wire out of the grey connector. Right now it has continuity to ground but am I right in assuming that it shouldn't? (It is bare almost everywhere that I can see it) Does it go from the grey connector to the starter first and then to the coil, or first to the coil and then the starter? I can't really see any of it beyond where it dives down into the sheath towards the front of the block and am confused about how best to replace and rerout it. thanks, Karin
