Wiring Woes
Wiring Woes
I've restored the interior in a 93 5 spd touring to about 90-95% completion,
I have some ground wire issues and a few missing and incompatible components.
I think I can sort many of the ground issues from the FPM and FSM.
1- I unknowingly purchased a Canadian/Euro/JDM touring rear washer bottle.
I think the main connectors are incompatible. The US black connector is 6 prong
with female spade connectors for heavy gauge wire. I think it connects to a US bottle on the driverside end. My Canadian bottle has a white male connector that is incompatible with the black connector. Can someone confirm the black connector is indeed for a US touring hatch bottle?... or is it for something else? Does anyone have pics of a US bottle and or a US bottle connector? I'm just curious if mine can be used or modified to work. (See pics 1 + 2)
2- There is also a blue instrument harness connector (just behind the cluster) that I can't find a mate for on the driver side front harness or the dash harness (See pic 3). There is a compatible connector at the front end of the side harness, but it seems to belong in the mustard colored footwell fusebox. It's too short to reach the blue instrument harness connector.
3-I can't find one of the two bottom connectors that plugs into the base of the black Flasher ECU unit in the driver side footwell. (or is the other connector for a different model like an automatic?)
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Can anyone tell me what the 6 prong black connector in the second pic (located in the driver's side rear corner of the hatch) and the blue connector in 3rd pic are supposed to plug into? (Blue connector is directly behind instrument cluster in the dash) Can anyone confirm if there are one or two connectors plugged into the base of the Flasher unit ECU on the LS of the driver's footwell ?
Thanks.
Thanks.
