Earth wires near bonnet hinges

Post by leedurrant73 »

Hello,

I have two brown wires either side of the bonnet.
Near the bonnets hinges. I guess there earth wires.

Where do they normally fit too?
Would I be right saying the bonnets hinge bolts?

Thanks

Nope!
One would be the light switch for the under bonnet light
The other would be ground for something else that I cannot remember at the moment

Ok thanks I’m sure the passenger light is installed RHD drivers side. And will ground the other side.

Thanks buddy
