[T3] Electrical Cable

[Dave Hall]

Australia, so right-hand drive?  The solenoid cable runs down that side of
the tunnel (do you mean tunnel rather than console, and do you mean selector
lever rather than gearbox, which is at the rear of course?).

Are they thick red/white striped?  Sounds like starter solenoid connections
to me, but with auto there's also something to stop you starting in drive,
maybe only in park. I'm not experienced with automatics - I can only suggest
you look for the wire(s) that were connected to them.  They must still be
somewhere!

Hi All.

First post from me.

In reinstalling the driver's seat in my 1970 Fastback, I must have disloged
two electrical cables that run alongside the centre console and have now
come loose. One is from the front of the car, running towards the rear but
ends near the gearbox (mine is Auto) in a connector. The other runs from
rear towards the front and also ends near the gearbox, again with a
connector.

I'd noticed there were multiple cables running alongside the centre console
the full length of the cabin but had never paid much attention to them. The
other cables seem fine but I've now got a problem with these two that
apparantly connected to somewhere but now are loose!

My engine doesn't fire anymore (the ignition, lights etc come on) so I'm
guessing these 2 cables are important!

Any thoughts?

Cheers
