Broken down. Lots of lights on, no power to the throttle body

main loom earth, above n/s shaft on the box.

Can you get to it from above? I can't see where it goes at the moment.

yup, 13mm headed bolt, you should just about be able to see the tag under the head of it.

thought you'd checked this one sorry when you said earths were fine. this one is always first port of call.

 

[shaun442k]

I thought I had. I didn't know about this earth.

I've just gotta figure a way to get this bolt on and I'll be good to go.

Cheers

Car is working and reassembled now. It was the earth above the gearbox. I stuck a new connector on it and it's working good again.

Thanks to everyone who helped, earths were suggested from the start, but I wasn't aware of this one.

How on earth didnt you spot that?

How on earth didnt you spot that?

Because it's under the battery tray and the wire had flicked up underneath the loom towards the manifold.
Plus I didn't even know there was an earth there. I thought there were just the 2 near the front that the battery connects to.

Yep, I missed that. ha

 

[bloke]

if you don't know it's there then it's easy to miss it.

 

[Mr Plums]

Yep, I missed that. ha

Did you miss my pun too?

 

[shaun442k]

I missed everything it seems.
Cheers everyone. :smile:
