940 - What do these wires go to?

Colonel Froth · Nov 15th, 2010, 18:11

Hello folks. The pic is taken from passenger seat looking at the base of the under-dash A pillar. I'd like to know what these wires connect to. The pair that I've pulled through went to the side indicator. Where do the rest go? Are they the same on the other side? Thanks!

I have a feeling that they might go up inside the wing and then across the bulkhead to the wiper motor.
I swapped the wiring in my car when I fitted the turbo engine and getting them out meant taking all the wipers off and then the scuttle panel off.

Its a while since I messed with it and the other possiblity is wires to the door speakers.

Hi Steve. Good call, thanks. Passenger side had wires for side indicator, door open/close switch, and wiper motors. Driver's side had the indicator and door switch.

The speakers, elec windows etc all go through a bigger group of wires lower down on the pillar.

Now I just need to find out what the button on the lower front grill and the bonnet open/close switch do....

Button? Would that be the external temp sensor for the dash/instrument display?
There should be a switch on the slam panel for the alarm - detects the bonnet being opened/forced.

Des. . .

That sucker's HUGE! The last one I saw was in a Mondeo wing mirror and tiny. Thought it looked like a button but didn't actually try to press it. Must stop making assumptions. Thanks.

This is the external temp sensor:
