Hi,

this little wire came loose and I don't know what it's for and where it went.
Anybody an idea?

It looks like a grounding wire.
We also need the correct Discovery model (though it does look like a Disco 2) and year por favor senor.

BTW... welcome to the forum.
 
Thank you.

Well, the picture you see is not mine (my wire is gone ;-))
The Disco is from 2015 and it is a Td5 manual.
I replaced the rear quarter chassis and something went wrong because this wire came loose.

Thank you for replying!
 
I did, but this point is (as far as I understand) inside the space where the taillights goes (or just behind).
The wire goes up, over the hoses for fuel way up over the wheel arch, not to the rear.
:-(

So disappointing not being able to sort it out.
 
The important thing is what’s not working? If you have no anomaly’s ( electrically) then it Could well be a spare feed/Earth For a different speciation Discovery
 
Yes, I was thinking the same as you are.
But, . . from the broken bolt the previous owner took ground for the trailer.
After the chassis swap I reconnected everything 3 times the way it was (except the black wire, I took ground from the stud for the mudflap) and now the trailer brake lights don't work.
I changed the ground to the chassis but same result.

Also when I measure current on the brake light wire there is.
As soon as I connect the plug to the trailer all current is gone?

My guess is the wire does something.
 
I think its the grounding wire for the filler neck/ emissions vapour seperator, It would be to discharge static , The filler neck etc is mostly suspended between the rubber grommit at the cap end a nbd the rubber hose at fuel tank.
 
Well, . .

this is the wire and yes it is to ground the filler pipe.


But I have this version so I think the wire goes where the red arrow is.

So the plan is to take out the filler pipe and reconnect the wire.
I can't reach it when in place.


Thanks a lot!!!
