Oh, so not Gozo!
in Gozo it is probably a little better as there is usually less trafficOh, so not Gozo!
Do you have photos showing the wiring going to the switch on the roof? I fear that wiring is missing in mine
I think thats in the 2nd pic, two white plugs and the blue plug, tbh it was so long ago I cannot remember!
Pic dated 2008
Pic of other side of said plugs
thanks for your help, havent taken off my headliner yet but a quick peak i m guessing i will have to source that wiring too, which i suspect wont be easy
seems like it will be harder than I expected , we ll see

Hi, sorry for the late reply but here are pics of mine when I resealed the sunroofs & had the h/lining done.
Not sure it shows much but there are foam seals between the ducting & vents which disintegrate so you'll probably have to sort something out there. Before fitting the ducting make sure the roof bar gaskets are ok as the rear fixing nut is covered by it (the ducting). Best of luck.

If you disconnect the outside temp sender behind the grill it will make the 'eng cooling' fan run continuously with the air con on (it doesn't normally cut in until the o/s temp reaches 35 degrees
hence they seize up due to lack of use !) but you lose the air temp function on the ATC (the ATC will beep for a few seconds after start up then revert to normal except the o/s temp bit) this might help a bit with air flow through the condenser rad.(Tip from @sierrafery ). If the fan has seized get a replacement fan motor from Rock Autos in the states, it's a straight swap & cheaper than aftermarket fans.
thanks for the tips.If you disconnect the outside temp sender behind the grill it will make the 'eng cooling' fan run continuously with the air con on (it doesn't normally cut in until the o/s temp reaches 35 degrees

hi all, managed to pick up this project again. pulled off all the trim and sure enough, the wiring is missing (was sort of hoping i would find all the connectors laying around). Well, looking at the electrical diagrams, I have figured about 90% of what goes where however im puzzled about a green/black wire that comes out of the blower unit. I have no idea where it goes.... any help from some one who can read electrical diagrams better than I would certainly be appreciated Also, is there a reference of what the colour abbreviations mean? had no idea that (for example) N is a Brown wire!! In the reference below, im assuming BG refers to my mystery green/black wire

The Cct column gives a reference to the circuits associated with the connector's pin or cavity. Don't have RAVE with me right now but there's an entry in the Connectors section that lists these circuits and their reference nos. So for the BG wire on that connector, you need to identify circuit #15
thanks
May I ask the MY of your D2 ? I have 2 different copies of the electrical library but I'm unable to locate C0483-13 in the circuit diagrams, which is very unusual for RAVE. But there were changes to the wiring looms and colour schemes over time. For instance C0483 used to be 14 pin before they changed it to 16.
