Hi folks, I would be intrigued to know how the loom at the rear of a 240Z is earthed. If anyone has their car dismantled and could have a look for me that would be interesting.
As with the rest of the car I've opened my loom to check circuits and remove unnecessary wires e.g. aerial power, speaker leads and marker light circuits. Again I have repaired a couple of issues - this is proving so useful and satisfying.
On my car the only earth was from the fuel gauge sender circuit! All the lighting earths are joined (factory joins) and connect (with the fuel sender) to a heavier cable that runs up to the dome light (and that wasn't connected). No earth comes from the front of the car apart from the HRW.
When I unplugged my sender connector nothing was earthed at the rear!
I will be providing good earths to the body as I did with my lighting at the front of the car.
