I have a 1987 911 cab and i have some wires in the engine compartment that are not connnected that I am trying to find where they connect. Also one of my oil hoses burst and need help explaining to parts guy which it is...

Steely

Can you provide some more details, like count, location and color of wires. Some more info on the hose location would be handy - what is it attached to, tank, cooler, etc? Possibly throw up a pic?

Ya, seriously you have to provide a lot more. Like pictures or details, simply stating you have a loose wire somewhere and need help will no do anyone any good. Pictures help a lot.

Oh, and welcome to rennlist!!!

thanks for replying...my first post trying to get acclimated...ok...i will post pics tomorrow

DonJuan

the wires are on the drivers side...there is also a broken black wire hanging vertically...let me know if more pictures are needed

Hmmm, I don't have any such wires like that. Could it be for your speaker wires that are just about? Is that even how the speaker wires are run. I say this because those look like the connectors on my front speakers, same style.

DonJuan

yes you are right but why would they be in the engine compartment and can you see the black wire

Those two connectors are for the rear window wiper option, which you don't have because yours is a cabriolet. The same wiring harness was used on all versions of the car, so those connectors are unused on any car without the optional rear wiper. My coupe has those same two connectors and I researched heavily before I found out what they are for. In some cars they are hidden inside the wiring bundle.

thanks

Dersono,
I have those wire too. Look like Dave is correct because mine is a convertible, of course no rear wipers on convertible.

Hi Dave,
Do you know where is/are the other ends of them? Do they connect to some buttons in the cabin or hidden somewhere?

Thanks.
