I have purchased a new engine bay wiring harness for my restored Series II. According to the SNG Barratt catalog, it is the correct part number for a Left hand Drive Series II (part #JL-202).
Unfortunately when I looked at the bonnet bulkhead connector from the old harness, I noticed that it had seven wire connections versus the new harness which only has six. All my wiring diagrams from the factory manual and from every Jag site that I could find shows only six connections.
This is the connector in question -- shown is the original connector with seven wires. The extra wire in question is the larger gauge wire that is connected to the #6 bonnet bulkhead plug connector.
This is the wire that isn't found on the newly purchased harness.....
...... and is connected top the #6 plug pin.
The original wiring diagram shows only six connections -- and no mention of this #6 wire. It looks like the wire color was originally white with a very thick red tracer swirling around it -- or red with a thick white tracer -- not sure at this point due to color fading
Has anyone run across this problem with their cars? I should mention that this car has power brakes and AC.
Any help would be appreciated.
