Topic: Strange wires

[Luke S]

Dose any one know what these wires are and what for







Not very clear I know. It was hard to get in there

[kamilb1998]

I seem to recall they were for the horn or some other accessory? Can anyone confirm?

The red/white wire is the 12v supply for the rear indicators, I can't see the colour coding on the other two, but if they are violet/white and blue/white then they are for the return wires from the indicators.

If your indicators are working it means someone didn't know the C5 cable loom was kitted out for all the electrical accessories, and has added  additional wiring.

Hi as the others have said they are for the various accessories - Horn, indicators, etc.

Have a look at the fitting instructions for these items within the manual. Most helpful.

We just used the wiring that was already there.

Hi Luke,
