Hope everyone's had a good xmas and new year!

I thought I'd take a look at the wiring when I was changing the battery and just thought I'd ask if someone could tell me what the 5 boxes are for in this picture (rr connectors in the build manaual?) and what the thicker white wire coming out of the middle box is for? (it's not connected to anything and is about 30cm long with the other end wrapped in masking tape!)



Also the plug i've indicated in this picture doesn't seem to be connected to anything. Is this right?



Cheers,
Leon

Those are relays for various things as shown in the build manual here:



But looking at your pic I'd say the first one is the A/C Relay, the second is the Starter Relay, the third I've no idea why it has those white wires coming out of it smile
The 2 grey relays are on the ECU harness.

Someone has taken a switched 12v for something, stereo? odd way of wiring up the fuel pump?

Cheers.

as the white wires don't go anywhere what would the brown/red wires do if they didn't go into that relay as it wouldn't seem right for them to just be hanging there?

Any thought's on the white plug above the relays? The plug with 6 wires has a female end with a loop in it.

If anyone is able to take a pic of theirs i'd be gratefull. The build manual pic doesn't quite show the above and below wiring which is what I need.

Cheers,

Leon

iv had a few problems with mine cutting out and not starting, in the pic top left there is a white conector, mine has burnt out due to poor conection, can anyone tell me what the conector links to? the conector in this pic looks like it is going brown so may be worth checking that you dont have the same problem?
