Thread: I need a photo of an SWB 911 engine harness

    I need a photo of an SWB 911 engine harness

    Can anyone help me out with a photograph of the wire harness from the alternator to the electrical panel? A close up of the wire colors and the connectors would be a great help. THANKS!

    Semjon, wow, that is an NOS harness.

    Do you have it handy, could you take a photo of the end that connects to the alternator? I'm trying to figure out what color the B+ wire is. The diagram says red with a white stripe, but I think it's just plain red.

    Looking more carefully-- one trace of the harness has a black/purple with a faston connector. The other one is red with a faston. I think the black/purple connects to the coil negative on the electrical console, and the red goes into the translucent plastic "wye" connector. Out the other leg of the wye goes the wire to the fuel pump, and out the tip of the wye goes a wire to the ballast resistor.

    The blue and yellow wires are easy, those are the voltage regulator connection (the VR plug has a short blue pigtail and a MALE faston with a rubber boot) and the yellow is the wire to terminal 86 of the resistor relay that is energized when the starter is cranking.

    I bet the long traces down at the bottom of the photo are oil pressure and oil temperature.

    The thick black wire goes forward to the battery. This attaches to the junction block back on the electrical panel. The engine harness connects to the same terminal.

    The trace with the brown wire with ring terminal is clearly a chassis ground. I don't know what the other wire is, it looks gray.

    What I am going to fabricate is the alternator harness, #43.

    It usually is. Although I have an extra oil pressure sensor wire..there are two-one comes from engine compartment harness and the other from the tranny harness. They are both factory and only one is connected. I traced the unconnected one and it, too, ends at the instruments but is unconnected there too. I think it was a transition thing where they changed the harness and kept both for a while (I don't know how long or when they changed)

    Yes, it is. Here you can see them both. The one with the rubber boot is used. The other (coming up from the bottom of the firewall is unused and comes from the starter loom. You can't see it well but one has a stripe as I recall.

    Pretty sure the green/ whi stripe wire would go to the sportomatic temp sender that was located back by the 1-2-3 cam.
