That white plug, don't recall it. Mine is no AC - may be why I not know the plug )s)

I will have to play with the plugs for the engine harness.

What are you trying to look for?

Which plugs? EJ or EA?

Doesn't matter if you have A/C or not. All XT's have EFI and this plug for the dizzy

The EA plugs that do nothing on the firewall now

Toying with the idea of using the AC switch in the console, as a switch for a set of drving lights.

aaaw, clever fella who has done enough wiring in his lifetime to want an easier way out. Here is me , ripped out the AC wiring of my sedan improving its weight (wired up driving lights direct to HB

) did not think of the extra capabilities ....

IMO, there is too much involved in trying to use the A/C wiring, as the original system uses pressure switches in the A/C lines before the system will switch on the compressor clutch (which I guess you were wanting to use to activate the spot light relay). I would suggest running a twin core wire from under the bonnet in to the cabin switch and use the wiring diagram on this forum to wire it up the spotties.

Yep I want to use the switch to trigger the relay and yes I was going to plug in my recently aquired MPFI engine harness (freebie) and see if I could find the wires with the FSM and a bit of trickery.

It may well be easier just to run a 2 core wire to the switch and go from there to the relay and light active.

the old twin core ! Another good idea . It is a wonder I never thought of it before as a mate found half a kilometre of it a few years back, all nicely wound on a spool which sports some gravel rash. I can help him use it up now

MMMMM ... twin core wire funnily enough I was looking for twin core wire under the bonnet of a 93 sedan when I found this...

It is a nice little converter from the 3 or 4 plug to the 2 plug alternator.

I'm just curious as to why the resistor was put in between the 2 wires, and according to the resistor calculator it is 69 ohms

MMMMM.... 69 ohms

Not sure on the resistor but not sure how they make a 3 wire into 2 wire? Wonder if this is where the resistor joins onto??

That cleary white plug looks the same as another plug on the Subaru.. just can't think which one

Post by **TOONGA** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 3:32 pm

The white plug is where the 3 or 4 plug alternator plugs in, and of course the other end goes straight to the 2 plug alternator.

the white plug kinda looks like the main engine harness plug for a brumby but is bigger

No sh!t sherlock... they should have got you to star in that new tv series

And that should be 3 or 4 PIN plug

I meant it looks the same (size and shape) as on another Subaru model

Yeah the brumby plug doofus, and the last time I didn't explain something to you in primary terms you had a sook for a week

Quite possible it is the same as the plug from a later model.

Thats interesting how google translate censors its own translations

All of those are meant to say f#*k this Im off to the beach.

I still haven't found a working elven translator

eg one that translates swear words

May be a pull up resistor. Maybe the 3/4 pin sends out a signal to the ecu to indicate charge?? donno without having a bo peep. Looks like that resistors been getting hot though.

Apparently one of the 3 wires goes to the ECU and this tells the alternator to start charging http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=18135. so perhaps the resistor fools the ECU. or just gets really hot and glows for that extra ricer effect.

I was under the impression that the 4th wire went to the ECU and the 3rd wire went to the dash? Need to see wiring diagram to see for sure.
