Lo Guys,

After playing with the electrics I have a cable hanging about I think it
is an earth though panicing where it goes and have to use my camper
pronto.

The pictures 5, 6, and 7 show what I mean

Just had a quick look at my van ...no such wire.

Must be something aftermarket / camping related.

Is a westfalia joker if that helps. Thanks for checking anyway dude

if its an earth can't you just run it to the earth crowns

If I were you I'd just head off and bring some spare wiring and tools.

Whatever turns out not to be working during the trip probably needs connecting to that wire then

Lo guys,

I don't know anything about electrics really, was thinking of getting haynes auto electrics book.

Just worried that somik starts smoking from the dash when going along!

Thanks peeps,

J

Well it`s attached to the dash, so it`s an earth, it`s not attached to anything at the other end, so it`s not going to short anything, as it`s just an earth. If something isn`t working, then that is probably the earth for it, if everything is working, then maybe it was an earth added sometime for something that isn`t there anymore ?

Does look to be non-original.

It does look none original at the end screwed to the dash. The other end looks like it was inside some sort of connector or connector block, maybe off a car stereo? You could leave the wire there just in case what it came out of turns up, but don't forget to put some tape round the end just in case it touches a live connector if you go over a bumpy road etc.

cheers guys, done as suggested and tucked away. All seems to be fine, so fingers crossed

I don't have a clue abou electrics, been looking at the Haynes Auto Electrics book. Will get one day, though refuse paying £20. Ebay here I come

Take care and thanks again,
