DJB_Harvey Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Anybody know where the resistor wire is on a Mk2 facelift and can it be by-passed easily ? Got an S that's going to be fitted with a 123 Dizzy so need a 12 Volt feed to the new coil ( DLB 105 ) Thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimEB Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I hope it's a Brown S.... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I may be wrong - but I have a feeling it may be behind the dash . . . . . :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I alwasy thought the resistance wires were deep within the loom somewhere down the nearside of the car. Either behind the dash, or down the Lh side of the engine bay.I would run a separate wire in.CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAJ Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 According to the blue book Dave it is a wire which starts off as white from the fuse which also feeds the main lights (not the fuse that feeds indicators, interior lights etc). It turns to a pink with white in the loom and splices into the white with yellow cable which connects to the positive on the coil.I would remove the white cable at the fuse which doesn't power the lights or the roundel warning light cluster (the third white cable on this fuse), isolate the end from touching anything and run a fresh cable from the fuse (on the spade just vacated) to feed the coil. You may find that the original white with yellow cable may still have 12v as it is from the solenoid on the starter anyway.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
