tdr_1976 41 1 Cars Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) I have found some connectors and a cylindrical unit under the bonnet of my XS, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they are for? This was from behind the NS Headlamp. God knows what this is, when I purchased the car, it was hanging against the rad. This one comes out from near the flywheel case on the engine side, again, this just hangs there and does nothing.

jord294 97 Posted November 29, 2009 first pic = front driving light connecting plug second pic = iirc, something to do with cooling fan (i could be wrong on this) third pic = the wire is usually up over the dizzy and is only a diagnosic plug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamichris 9 Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) photo 1 - not sure! photo 2 - cooling fan resistor, the little bracket should be rivetted near the top of your radiator, you'll see the hole where the old rivet was, just rivet it back on. photo 3 - diagnostics plug I think, should be clipped in up beside your ignition coil, you'll probably never use this though. EDIT -> sorted! jord beat me Edited November 29, 2009 by miamichris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron 16 Posted November 29, 2009 Could be either the cooling fan resistor or the headlight dim / dip resistor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveo 0 Posted November 29, 2009 i thought the second pic was a supresor? well thats what i heard anyway?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lagonda 42 Posted November 29, 2009 No, it's definitely the fan resistor, controls fast/slow speeds on fan. It's probably detached as replacement radiators (like mine!) don't have a clip rivetted on for this. Helpful. I've managed to slip mine under one of the radiator retaining springs...you need to be careful where it goes as it can get extremely hot, hot enough to melt plastic, damage hoses etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
