Whilst 'pottering' yesterday afternoon, I noticed these 2 spare (unconnected) multi-pin plugs at the front of the near-side wing.

What are they for??
I'll assume fog-lamps & Spot-lights, until identified otherwise

Can you give me the colour codes of the wires please.

Orange should be screen wiper motor stuff. :?:   :shock:

Light green/black should be front screen jet to screen jet motor. :roll:

Neither make sense to me.

Will have another look & note down colours & traces (if any)

They're only in that position as I pulled them up.
Not attached to anything, both were loose.

Right. I've had a look;

The 2-pin socket is;
Orange/Black
Black

The 3-pin socket is;
Red/Orange
Light Blue/Yellow
Black

The 2 blacks must be earths, as they're the common colour.

OK from my Lucas wiring information.

Black as you say is always earth.

Orange/black should be.Switch to windscreen first speed or intermittent unit.  Hmmmm

Red/orange.Should be fusebox to rear fog guard light.

Light blue/yerllow should be. I have no light blue shewn in my book????However I have blue/yellow which should be...Long range driving light to lamp.

Now if you go to www.lrtech there's a wiring post on there which I've given most of the most used colours.

Could be for blues and two's, most manufactures make one wiring loom for a vehicle regardless of spec, and these offten include stuff for emergency services, :wink:

Good suggestion
I'll raid one of the 'Works Vans' (stripy Mercedes :lol: ) & 'borrow' some

I still reckon Fogs/Spots, as there's the square blanking switch panel under lower right side of the dash.
I'll have to fish about under there.

I've got these on the 110 too - fairly sure that they are not fogs or spots as they're not 'man' enough!.............looked on the Disco, and there's an identical 2-pin (with orange/black & black wires) plug connecting to a socket that disappears between the rad and the intercooler - I'm suspecting its for the aircon external temp sensor maybe ?

Got them floating round in mine. Not used for spot lights as they are wired in to the main beam relay by LR techs.
