wiring confusion

Post by geospider »

putting the center console back in.
these wire connectors were/are just hanging. never unplugged them. just had 3 small single connectors to the heat/def switch, etc.

thinking of just stuffing them back in there. just strange. no, not sure I have a diagram and they confuse me anyway.

This is common Many Fiat Spiders left factory pre wired for a radio and power antenna. In addition others also had wire/connectors for electric window switches. All of these connectors were stored behind the upper center console

Well that makes some sense. now I just need to find the "radio" hot wire from the ignition. PO had the raido powered through the Cig lighter.
