Silky 33 1 Cars Posted April 27, 2009 My brother is in the middle of restoring a MK3 Capri. He is onto the electrics and is a bit stuck with the ignition barrel wiring. There seems to be a red/blue/brown group of wires which connect to the dash wiring via a male/female plug and that is all fine. However, there is a yellow wire coming off the barrel with a female connector, there is a male connector in the dash loom with a yellow wire, all connects up well. However the yellow dash wire doesn't actually go anywhere and looks as though it has been cut or snapped off of something, I think it's a 12v suplly wire but have no idea where it should go to. Anyone got any experience with these cars or wiring (I am useless with elec's) Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
