I'v read the complete topic over the last hour... AMAZING
Simply stunning project, and we're lucky that you are sharing this with us.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks both of you. I sourced the harnesses from several different cars so anything is possible I guess. I'll have to snuggle up with that .pdf tonight Paul. It looks like it will shed a ton of light on this stuff.

Something to check - that 281 module in position 12... my info is that a 281 is a bulb monitor for autocheck in position 15 and that the buzzer (lights or radio ON with key removed) is number 292 in position 12. My info is maybe specific to RHD so may not be relevant here.

I just stuck them up there to get them out of the way, so I'm sure your probably correct. I'll move them.

I guess I need to fly you over for some Southern hospitality and little wiring help.

Maybe one of the LHD owning S2/RS2 folk can look at their relay plates to see where some more numbers line up. I think we are looking for what is in positions 4, 8, 10, 12 & 15 - please state what aircon is fitted as well.

I should really record all these relay numbers somewhere / someday - when I am more busy

Ahh OK - you send me the tickets and I'll be right over to the old stomping ground. I am so overdue a biz trip to the US that its not funny but such is life.

There is a fair bet you have 281 in the wrong place and one of the loose modules is actually gonna be the buzzer module for position #12.

Let me know the wire colours on the otehr modules if you can be bothered. Should be a mild challenge compared to 'aircon wiring wars' of recent times.

Its been bugging me that we now only have two missing relays according to your photo... there should be three... then I see one extra one dangling in your photo Tom - southwest of your thumb without a relay... that'll be for somethin

Send me an email and I'll explain some mysteries !

The central harness is from a 1995 RS2 with auto-climate control sans Tempomat.

Let me know the wire colours on the other modules if you can be bothered. Should be a mild challenge compared to 'aircon wiring wars' of recent times.

I'm out in the garage now so I'll snap a pic or two of the connector wiring.

OK - cool... One of your modules will be for #4 for part of aircon - likely number 205, but wire colours will confirm.

The dangling relay holder is for the radiator cooling fan. I'll poke around and see if where the others are.

I send you a pm with my email addy

You already have radfan speed #3 relay fitted in position #18 (top right corner) or are you saying that loose plug is from main fuse panel in the scuttle ?

[S2central.net]

Here's some wire colours to help locate things and confirm existing stuff as well. Assume you are fluent in german colour coded. Don't be shy if not...

#04 - gn/br, sw/ro, sw/bl, gn/ge (compressor clutch for climate)

#08 - sw, gn, sw, br/br

#10 - sw, br, sw/gr, sw/ge

#12 - gr, ws, ro, br/ge

#15 - gr, ge/gn, ge/br, ge/sw, ge, br (bulb monitor)

#18 - ro, ro/gn, ro/sw, br

NOT all colours may be perfect for all years, but majority should be common. Lets see how that matches with some pics.

@tom - got your message... some more info coming your way... forgot to ask if you have an airbag on that wagon too ?

Thanks again.

Yessir, it's a late 1995 model so we've got airbags for both Fahrer und Beifahrer.

Here's the pic of the three stooges.

OK - I can just about see the tracer colours, but looks like we have the following -

BLUE module is #10

BROWN module is #08

STudying the other one....

Cheers,

Paul

I was referring to the relay connector that you asked about in my first pic....southwest of my thumb. Here's the back side.



Also, should relay 217 be moved from location #18??? If so where does he live?
