Default Wiring help with WX.

I'm doing a swap into a '85 4kq. I've got a '85 left(driver) side engine harness and have these two connectors that I can't seem to find a home for. My Bentley is so old that the pages have turned to confetti.

The harness from the UrQ below

Default The one on the left...

...goes to the Random Starter Interruption Circuit. I think the one on the right goes to the Galvanic Corrosion Accelerator. But hey, good luck with that, Tom! ;-)

P.S. The Fluhrs and I are still thinking about your November event. Our task list seems daunting, though.

Default What you need is to pull the rest of the harness from the Ur-q......

I believe most of them go straight to the fuse box... one for ignition power, one for fuel pump relay ground signal etc. If you need the wiring diagrams I can fax them to you and highlight the wires you are looking at.
Let me know

Default I was hoping to only have to pull the two engine harness.

Glad to know I just didn't get everything I needed. I'll go back the Uri for more wiring this weekend. Thanks for the advice.

Default Re: The one on the left...

Now I recognize the left one!! I must have RSIC on my other UrQ ('83 0143) also! My bad.

Eric R apparently has one on his '86 too and I think they have some sort of wireless comm link. On the way to Mid-O we stopped at a gas station and both cars wouldn't start. We both had a good laugh. Then we stopped at the Taco Bell on the way home somewhere in KY. Again, I'm sitting in mine cranking, cranking. I look over at Eric...he is doing the same. Afer about a minute of turning the ignition the finally wake up with that familiar CIS 5 cylinder sputter. Again, a good laugh.

Why don't you come out to Barber Motorsports Park with the Fluhrs?? It's going to be a hoot.

Don't worry there will be plenty of other smartasses around to jaw with besides me.

Default What I mean is you need to pull the rest of the harness past the plugs, some of it goes to the....

fusebox... if you see where they go it will be easy to transplant..

Default Oh yes, I got that. I just didn't realize that there was more that needed to come out of the Urq

Thanks again for filling me in. I've got to wait until the weekend to check it out unfortunately.

When I do the 3B motor from the 91 200q will all the wiring from the 200 replace the wiring that I'm removing from the Urq for my current swap??
