Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

when putting boot back together I've noted 2 unused wires.

a green one and brown one coming out of loom at same point close to fuelfiller elbow.



checked wiring diagram but can't seem to figure what they are?

are they redundant or for foreign market types and not a 73 plus 2 130/5?

any ideas?

yes ! i have exactly the same
they were not used
i traced them to just below the ignition switch terminated in a double lucas

i used one to power electric fuel pump in boot and the other is spare !

Heated rear screen?

nope that's all connected up so far as I can tell.

diagram shows them as green with white and black.

My car (73 130/5) has similar wires, nearer the sender than filler neck. My assumption was they were for the missing boot light but never done a proper investigation into them.

On my 72 S130, they are more of a blue, rather than green, & a brown & they are connected to the radio at the dash end & the speaker at the boot end. Can't say if that's factory or not, but that's how they were when I bought the car in 87. The wiring diagram doesn't give colours for the speaker wiring, so not much help.

Power for the retractable antenna??
