Got a wire loose

bin messin' with the bus tonight and found a couple of spare wires and ain't got a clue as to wot they are
One's a male and female double jobbie with a black and brown thinnish wire and a black and blue thinnish wire.
The other one's a female doodah with a black and blue thicker wire.
Also I found a black and blue wire with a male wotsit comin' from the transfer box. Should I connect the last one with the second one or will that do funny things to the bus?




Cheers

Just tried connectin' the two blue and black wires and nowt happened, still no light!!! Changed all the bulbs in me dash so that rules that out.
Silly question of the week.... wot light should come on anyways? A few of me lights have never worked so widnae know. Did get a diffrunt light workin' tho', the one that's yellow and got the choke symbol I found a big connector that looked like it fitted on the big relay lookin thing in the centre of the bulkhead and stuck it on. Dunno if this was deliberately taken off or if it fell off before I got, but it's bin runnin fine without it. I still don't know wot the two/ three wires hangin loose under the bus are for

Yerll have to wait a couple of days an I'll have a look at my harness to see if I can tell from that, Though at a guess the black an blue thick wire goes to the difflock switch. An the two others in the pic could be the reversing light but it could also be the wires for the handbrake on light. The choke symbol is the glow plugs light.

Cheers Grunt, Tried joinin the black blue wires but nowt happened. The reversin light switch already wurks, so it might be the handbrake Let me knows how ye get on, Cheers again

It's all in bits in the shed but I think I know how it goes so just needs a good coat of looking at to suss the individual wires out.

I've got a diagram for '86 onwards and a couple in the Haynes book, but i'll be buggered if I can find wot I'm lookin for!!!!!

What a muppet!!!! couldn't see the symbol that was right in front of me!!!!! Still don't light up tho?!!? Dont think me handbake light will work either, it's got no switch

AW FFS, an even bigger muppet i be!!!! Got below the bus tonight for a better look and used a proper light this time ( not me lighter or a dyin' torch ). After I gave the wires another clean, it turns out that they're not the colours I thocht The double connector is actually PURPLE/BLACK (not black/brown) and RED/SLATE (not red/white)

BUGGERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Aye well I reread yer post an ran away cos I can't be arsed to go an muddle through my harness. It's in a big heap in me shed an me sheds full of mozzies.

Nae wurries Grunt, Cheers onyways Aye the wee buggers are bad up here anaw, had to come in early cos of thum

Tee-Hee Could be right there Adz, havin' a head-ferker of a nicht

As long as it's braw bricht and moon licht then it can't be all bad eh?

No takers then aboot these wires?

This is the reverse light switch an the wires are green and green/black



This is the difflock switch wire an is thick an blue/black.

These are the fuel level sender wires an the wires are white/slate, green/black and black.

I ant got no double connector though. an I ant got no wires for the handbrake switch.

Dunno wot this is doing here an I can't delete it.

The Blue Black wire is live an earths through the switch there should be a second wire probly black coming off the switch to a earth connector bolted to the tranny box.
