MILITARY 2,5 NA wiring colours confusion ?

RicardoRich · Mar 28, 2019

Hi Guys
OK , ive nearly completed the installation of a 300 tdi into my x military defender.
im having a few issues working out the remaining wires as the haynes manual information doesnt match what ive got ?
specifically i need to find which wires go to the stop solenoid on the injector pump , the oil temp sender , the oil pressure switch and the water temp sender .
im guessing the stop solenoid just needs a12 volt supply to lift the solenoid open ??which i could patch into the ign switch if wire cannot be traced .
Cheers

Have a search for the wire colours used, the diagrams always seem to be wrong.

I will have a look at mine later and tell you what colours mine were (1990 2.5NA).

The issue is they are all spade connectors aren't they? The longest one is probably the temp - the shortest probably stop solenoid.

You could work it out - do you have a multi-meter?

As above, probably easiest to work it out with a DMM - the manual colours might be useful as a first attempt guess type of thing - and you could try RAVE to see what colours are in there ...... But, a DMM and some long test leads should enable you to trace the correct wires in a couple of hours, max...

The Haynes diagram is pants, get something better off t'internet.

Your stop solenoid should be 'Camoflagilated White' and the tempeature Sender should be 'Green with a Camoflagilated Stripe' if thaty helps.
Apart from which, the longer of them should be the temp and the shorter should be the Fuel Stop ... unless I did it, in which case they would ll be either Sea Blue (a gizzit from the Andrew), or Red ( which would be another gizzit from the Parasites), all of which are stuck in place with Blue 6.3mm Spades coz we ran out of shovels!

All the wires for the engine come from a multi-plug next to the brake servo.
