LGB Wire for Washer Pump?

• Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
My LHD Elan has an 802 (+ALT) harness from British Wiring which I understand is manufactured by AutoSparks in the UK. My washer switch appears to have the Light-Green/Black wire to drive the washer pump, but I have been unable to find the other end of that wire. Can anyone with experience with that harness tell me where I would find the pump end of the wire? In particular, knowing what other wires exit the harness at the same point might be the ideal clue to solve this puzzle.
Also, if anyone happens to have this harness lying around I would love to borrow/rent/buy it for a reasonable price just so I can fully document it.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

The wires for the windshield washer pump come off the main harness along with the wires for the Sovy (brake fluid level, if you have one). The main harness then continues onto the front for the headlights, horn, etc.
Look for a small branch comprised of 2 or 4 wires off of the main harness, located in the engine bay.

This being an S3, and thus not having a Sovy, I believe it would not have the Sovy wire. Can you tell me what other wires exit the harness in that general area (i.e. a few inches forward of the bulkhead but well before the alternator?) I know about the three or so going a few inches to the fuse block, and the large branch to the passenger side. Mine also has a ~1" stub of three or so brown or brown/xx wires taped together but I believe those are unused "control box" wires. Other than that there are no branches until the one for the alternator.

We must first make sure of the model Elan, I have owned 3 1967 UK S3 Elans none of which had and electric washer pump, the loom I replaced on one did not have any supply wires in it.
Washer was by a manual push pump mounted on the back of the dash wiper control switch.

I cant speak for this loom and it may not help much. I spent some time trying to figure out why half of my dash electrics (68 +2) wasn't working correctly. Eventually figured out that an optional accessory wire (heated rear window switch) of same colour as many live feeds had just been looped in the loom. It seems likely that you may find the other end of your wire bound into the loom, probably at the location where the wiring diagram suggests the pump should be... any contemporary pictures may help to narrow it down. Unfortunately this may mean the scalpel has to come out

So you're looking in between the wires for the Voltage Regulator (large, lots of Brown) & the wires for the headlight Relays (Lots of Blues...)

AutoSparks has just gotten back to me to say there is no LGB washer pump wire in the harness. They do say “There is a Light Green/Brown wire in this harness but it is Flasher unit to Switch, unfortunately this colour is used for Washer and Indicator circuits on many British vehicles of this era.” and such a wire is connected to my washer switch, so now my puzzlement turns to “how is it that my turn signals work even though that wire is connected to the washer switch”
Anyway thanks for your help.
