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!

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.

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........

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....
