Purple Live Wire

(1/2) > >>

L90OOK:
:evil:   Have tidied up the rear wiring on the 110 whilst the back panels are out.
I have found a purple wire that is permanently live but not connected to anything :-k It's wired through the loom to the 20Amp fuse top left for AUX etc in the fuse box.  I can't find this on the wiring diagrams anywhere :?
Can someone shed some light on this before I go mad  :?:  :-s  :-({|=

Jimbo:
I'm fairly sure that's for the rear fag/cigar lighter that gets fitted on the CSW's - is it in a plastic 'multi-block' connector with another wire (black ?),if so, the black is an earth.

L90OOK:
No it's on it's own but it has been hacked about a but over it's life time.  Rear 12v connection would make sense but didn't think they did them on 200Tdi defender?  It looks like it's what it is going to be used for anyway  :D

I realised after posting that you have a CSW - doh ! Do you havea rear wash-wipe or heated rear screen........my grey matter is slightly blurred at the mo, but I'm thinking that the purple wire may be for that, but then I may be totally wrong - a few large glasses of Merlot can do that to you  :oops:

I'd say it's for the interior light one runs up the windscreen frame (purple)as well.
