Reconditioned a loom.

Took it all out, stripped it, checked it. Took an age but found 2 broken wires.

Anyway - the relay box above the gearbox/engine mount on the passenger side wing.

I've 3 high amp wires, 2 clearly go across the alternator/starter fuse/relay and bolt in there. However there is a 3rd wire, black with a green band, not quite as thick as the other 2, but still meaty.

Where the hell does it go? I don't recall removing it but it is part of the loom.

Cannot see where it goes. Unfortunately I've lost my phone last week and.... that had the removal photos.

Call the midlife!

There's a single Earth strap runs across to bolt into the top of the gearbox, can't remember the colour offhand but it's a decent gauge cable with (possibly an 8mm?) a circular connector on the end.
60% of the time it works everytime...

Worked out the confusion after swinging by JSpec to look at a broken car.

Simple as having an extra wire as my battery is in the passengers foot well. With making a fresh loom from another 1zz loom, it had a wire for - presumably - the negative battery terminal. Which is redundant for me.

The black and green is the alternator wire.
