Sweet82 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I was just hooking up the wiring harness on the buggy and ripped off a tag, I had put on harness wires leading to the coil I need help with the wires! There were five wires connected to the coil originally. On the coil right now,(these were never removed when I pulled the motor) I have 2 black wires on the + side going to a capacitor and the dark recesses of the motor. On the - side I have a yellow wire going to the motor also. I know these are correct. Stupid Question? The two wires that are attached to the main wiring harness are yellow and black. I now need to connect these. Which goes to + or - ? I remember the harness yellow going to the + (with the the two black wires going to the motor)? That would leave the harness black wire going to the - side of the coil with the existing yellow wire? Mixing the black and yellow on different terminals seems wrong but that's how I remember it? Anyone know 82 Hatch coil wire colors? Can anyone confirm this configuration? Thanks, Glenn 82 Hatch, almost wired!............... 01 Forester, bent but not broken!

MilesFox Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 the little capacitor is simply a noise coil for the radio as far as your mystery wires all YELLOW wires go to the NEGATIVE terminal all black wires will be the +. they should have red contacts, but not always.

Sweet82 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 Thanks Miles, That's opposite of how I remember it but it make sence color wise. Where do the two (Yellow & Black) wires going to the harness go? Glenn, 82 Hatch, more wireder now........ 01 Forester, bent but not broken!

mudrat79 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Morning, Glenn.... Your Yellow to harness is for Tach, black I believe helps Operate the fuel cutoff solinoid I told you about over above the hood release lever inside the car...? I am sure there are other things they help to, but don't have book in Face, and Too early to remember.... Going to bring that Bad Boy out for the WCSS 6 Show...? But as Fox said Yellow to yellow, and Black to black........ Later, John in Oregon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
