Posted 4 weeks 1 day ago #209137There hasn’t been an instance where, having referred to any of Roverlike’s contributions, that I’ve been left in doubt about the subject in hand.

Posted 4 weeks 15 hours ago #209153So I give you my best educated guess, as when these things are second hand, who knows what exactly the previous owner got up to.
Those remaining two wires......is one the black/white trace wire with the eye terminal? and does that wire come from the multi pin terminal plug that connects to the relay?
If so that needs to be earthed.
As for the other, it that the red/white wire with the end stripped? and does that come from the fuse holder? and does the other wire from the fuse holder go to the terminal plug of the relay?
If so that stripped wire needs to connect with a live source of power.
The green plug with the coloured wires should probably go to the switch.
You also seem to have some stray bits of coloured wire and another green plug with some black wires hanging out of it, these I suspect are just left over bits that were unused and as such could probably be discarded.... but not yet! Wait until the project is completed and working.
There is obviously more to this than included in the pix, I assume you had no difficulty figuring out where all this went but please feel free to make further enquiries if needed.

Posted 4 weeks 7 hours ago #209157These wires?
As Cobber says red wire - permanent live and black wire - permanent earth.
Looking at the connectors, they are probably intended for attaching to the battery terminals.

Posted 4 weeks 3 hours ago #209159OK so I have attached a few more pictures... I have worked out the the wires and green connector that I figured were 'spare' are in fact for the connector to the rear of the fog light switch! My question with all of this is, does anyone know in what order they are supposed to be going along/clicked inside of the green connector, or if in fact it makes difference? The second Question is; where do each of the ends of these wires go/get joined to?!
