Unused cable at Voltage Regulator - 1968 912
Posted: Wed Apr 24, 2024 4:00 pm
Hoping someone might just know this. A small part of the wire harness in the engine bay on my 1968 912 was fried long before my ownership (I promise!).
It’s two cables coming out of the main loom together at the left hand corner and one is the thin solid blue that attaches to the voltage regulator 61, coming from the generator light in one of gauges.
It’s the second cable that I can’t quite figure out. Thin solid yellow, and not dissimilar in length to the blue that goes to the voltage regulator. This one has fried, but it did look like this one was tucked back on itself in this part of the loom, which I think Porsche did with option-type cables that were surplus. It’s yellow so I am thinking it’s for a light of some sort (optional reverse light? Optional engine compartment light?).
Any suggestions on where I should start my investigations for the other end of the cable up in the front boot are welcome
