Under dash panel terminals

Post by Blue_Thunder » Thu Apr 24, 2008 8:39 am

I'm planning on undertaking some rewiring on the weekend, and have only just realised what that coloured piece of card with numbers on which I threw out was. I randomly found it months ago and couldn't figure out where it had come from, so it just sat in my door card until I gave the interior a good clean. So now i'm stuck with a load of terminals, and no way of knowing which one is which.

Could someone please take a photo of the electrical terminals under the dash so I could figure out which one is which, or alternatively let me know which order they go in from left to right.

Infact if anyone could go one better and explain exactly when they are live, that would be even better. I've already tapped into one of the permanently live terminals and one that goes on with the ignition, but would be useful to know about the others.

Do you mean the ones on the bus bar just to the left of the fuse box?

Those are the ones. I think they have a little coloured strip above them with their terminal codes.

It's the numbers on that yellow-red-pink-pink sticker that i'm after, but with my old man eyes, I can't quite make out what it reads.

dont take this the wrong way, but if you don't know that, should you really be undertaking a rewiring project?

Don't worry Matt, i'll wear wellies and I live close to the local fire station :lol:

Perhaps i've exaggerated my 'project'. It's only some very minor wiring the likes of which i've done before. I've also got Elsa, so I just wanted to make sure I was tapping in to the same terminal as it would have been from the factory.

Yeah don't worry Matt, believe it or not he's actually quite clever in real life! Plus I'll be standing by with the fire extinguisher :lol:

Cheers,
