Help Identifying Wires/Relays etc (stripping FC loom)

Hey guys.. Ive just begun to strip the crap outa my loom in my FC T2...


I have plans for a totally custom dash, with all the stalks/ buttons near the clocks and more all moved onto a switch panel, with only the essentials..

I also want to remove the blower unit and just have an on/off switch (set to fastest/hottest)..


so in order to begin this process I need to identify these two rogue wires...


Any ideas?? BOTH wires appear on BOTH sides (rear passenger and driver footwells). My initial thoughts were abs sensors and something else?

Also..
In the boot, passenger side near the OEM jack storage bit are TWO RELAYS.. what do these do.. what system are they conencted too???



FINALLY.. does anyone have a decent indepth link to the wiring diagrams of the FC?? so i know what wires I can rip out safetly???

what about pictures of FC's with their looms stripped.. tips from people who have done it etc??


All help REALLY appreciated as i have a week and a bit to do this!!

I just completely stripped mine but I only went back in with bare minimum to start and run the engine since mine is an autocross only car in the prepared class. I know there are links here somewhere to the FSM wiring diagrams as I downloaded them and used them when doing my wiring. I got rid of what seemed like 100 pounds of wire. Now my car is a Non-turbo so what I did will not be enough for you. I also replaced my ECU with a Megasquirt as my old one finally died.

One of the relays in the jack area is for the radio antenna and rear window defrost relay. See BODY ELECTRICAL section of the free online FSM.

Most people are at WORK! and depending on the work site, are not on the net at this time of day. I'm not familiar with the rear passengers foot well that you mentioned nor its location. I'll be looking in the FSM for it.

I guess this is a series four car. Got me.

ssorry dude im from the UK.. i know theres like a circa 6hr differnce so i just didnt know how long it would take for replies..

Im aiming for total basics bar clocks (ish) and lighting such as headlights/rearlights/indicators etc..so far i have found out that the WHOLE passenger side loom can be dumped. and that the wires i was asking about....

1 is the door open sensor
1 is the rear ABS sensor


both been ditched.

far as i know the car is a S5 UK spec.. thx all for links and help so far. ANY pictures of stripped looms/ constom dash/switch experiance would be great.

the only one im unsure about is the blowers. Ive got a carbon center panel so neet to relocate the unit OOOOOORRRRR preferable remove it all and turn it into an ON/OFF switch...


any help welcome.
