Chris_Beaven Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Plumbing and wiring all done but I appear to have two spare connectors off the loom (pics below):1. Connector by +ve battery terminal/ pedal box - very short cable but I cannot find a home for this. Appears similar to connectors onto engine.2. Twin spade connector by radiator fan and horn - long cable, but appears superfluous on this build. I wondered if intended for cars with coolant top-up warning (if such exist).Any thoughts? Are they ok to ignore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim 123 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Chris the 2 leads at the front are surplus.if you have the cooling fan connected. The plug at the rear looks like the loom connection for the lambda sensor lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Beaven Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Thanks Jim. Makes sense re the front. The Lambda sensor is in place and cabled up (green connector), so it's not that...Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim 123 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Just had a look at my Sigma, if you let me know the colour of the wires in 1/ I'll have another look. The only things I could see would be one of the connectors feeding into the ECU block might have come out but you've probably checked that.

Chris_Beaven Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Thanks Jim, will post colours of wires when I get back tonight. As well as check the ECU (this could prove embarrassing....)Cheers,Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Beaven Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 So I had a look at the main loom connector and no obvious connection point for 1. there.Picture below of wire colours (I figure better to provide pic rather than try and describe.Bracing myself for this being embarrassingly obvious...

CtrMint Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hi Having just finished my Duratec build I too had the front connectors spare, which Derek at CC confirmed, looks like the Sigma is the same. I don’t recall the other connector though, from experience most connections become obvious and marry up as you work through the build, As Jim suggests it might be the lambda, I’d find the lambda sensor in the kit and see if the plugs are male and female of the same type. If they are different you know it’s not that, if they’re the same Jim is probably right, which he usually is.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Beaven Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Lambda is all connected up Mark; green connector - perfect fit and appropriate length cable. This one is on a very short cable from the car side loom (close to the main connector).Feeling a Derek email looming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEK Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 A possible common/standard use of orange/white and orange/black is in the area of wiper motor connectivity for the parking functionalityseehttps://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/cms/files/colour_code_for_vehicle_wiring_-_new_order_2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Beaven Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Thanks Eek, yes I noticed that. Isn't the wiper motor behind the dash (new build 310S S3)? This short cable is miles away form there (by the battery/ pedal box in the engine bay). Or is there a related connection in this vicinity - I just cannot find anything obvious.

Chris_Beaven Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 And the answer is.....'That connector is no longer used.' Derek.Thanks all for trying to help, apols for the false alarm/ anti-climax.Cheers,Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
