#1 Bonnet 8-way connector wiring

Post by iani » Wed Jun 22, 2016 7:41 pm

Can anyone point me at a list of the wiring on the 8-way plug by pin number, S2 car if that makes a difference.

thanks

Check the Forum KB, last thread. The wiring of the S2 bonnet is the same as the S1.

Also pin numbers shown on the wireing diagram inside a small circle symbol for each wire to a lamp or indicator..

#4 (centre terminal) is used for the mythical fog lights - a red/yellow cable.

Pic above shows #6 as red/yellow, hopefully the wiring won't be as dirty as the rest of the loom and can work it all out, I have bought a replacement bonnet loom so that will all be fresh.

My mistake - #4 is for the horns on the 3.8. #6 is Fog lights.

I'm doing your headlight wiring upgrade, will be using #6 for power supply from alternator.
