63stick Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago I have a green wire with black tracer that I had bagged years ago when I took the car apart. I wrote on bag, goes from starter solenoid across fire wall and for whatever reason I didn't say where it went. It's a lot longer than needed to go to coil. I wrapped it around the harness along the run. I don't like how it looks if it does go to coil. I think maybe when I was taking the car apart, I wasn't concerned as everything is in a harness. It's a factory wire as it has the 90 degree push on terminal for the solenoid. The other end has an open connector. My R2 doesn't have it. I have seen on a few cars on BAT the wire but can't see where it goes. No mention in shop manual of it. I was thinking maybe it would go to coil, bypassing the resistor for start-up but don't want to assume that. That would only be possible if That terminal on solenoid is momentary, energized when key is in start position. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
63stick Posted 2 hours ago Author Report Posted 2 hours ago Thank You regnalbob, That's awesome, Looking at the wire, I knew it had to be factory supplied and figured dealer installed. Only thing that made sense was that it was a bypass for the resistor, but I didn't want to take a chance. What I still don't understand is why it's so long. I wrapped many wraps around the harness. I guess what I can do is just run it along the harness and then wrap it and zip tie it under the shielding. Those service letters are fantastic. Thank you again
