Removing engine loom help

[gez 172]

Hi guys,

Currently removing the engine bay loom, everything is off and ready to remove, apart from 1 wire.

There is one wire running into the interior of the car, along aside the bonnet cable pull.

Where would I find this last wire, to unplug it.

Thank you .

colour? think the bonnet sensor wire is zip tied to the cable?

A 'cable' I should have said. There's a few colour wires inside the tape, it runs into the bulk head besides the bonnet pull cable.

I can take a picture tomorrow

I couldn't find the end of the cable.
I tried looking for it down by the bonnet pull cable handle. This is where I'm stuck.

Alarm wires?

This was one of my thoughts. I'll have another look today. It's daft really. Literally just this one cable left and the loom can come out.

On any other loom thread on here, I've not heard of anyone mention this one being difficult, so there must be an easy way.

If it is the alarm wire it will be spliced into the loom behind the dash and it’s normally soldered so will have to be cut

Ahhh...assuming that's what everyone does when they remove the loom?

I'll double check and take pictures today, and hope I don't have to cut anything.

Would be good to have a few replies off one of the race car guys who have removed their loom, and cut thr redundant wires down.

I hate cutting wires, that's when the immobiliser issues start

Have you removed the engine loom to dash loom plug in the scuttle panel? 10mm bolt im sure then seperates.

Sits behind the washer bottle.

Have you stripped out the dash to trace where it goes?

I have broken approx 10 clio 182/172 in the past year and all had a wire passing through like this from the alarm system.

I haven't, the interior loom/dash is completely intact. I was hoping I'd be able to split the engine loom without touching the interior/dash.

If it is for the alarm, it will not be attached to the engine loom so can just be left in place, normally it just taped/cable tied along the engine loom/bonnet release

Im 99% sure this is the alarm. I cut loads out of mine from that.

it's the wire for bonnet sensor, chop it, no problems.

Anyone have the details to the above?

My 182 alarm keeps randomly going off in the middle of the night 1-4 am and neighbours are going mad.

Anyone know how to lock the lock without the alarm??

Or disconnect / pull a fuse to cut the siren etc???

Anything!!??
