Loose unknown wires

Post by Rocco2 »

Hi guys,

I have the Haynes Repair Manual, but it didn't tell me the answer.

Removed the center console and there were couple of loose wires, can't figure out where they belong.

1.Yellow/Black - the Haynes wiring schematics kind a states that it is "Blower Resistor", the blower seems to work just fine though...
2. Light blue/Blue wire - have no idea whats it for
3. White/Yellow soldered to White/Blue - also no idea

But all three will have 12v when turned the power on.

My rocco is 1992, JH


Thanks for the help.

Yes, ashtray now works :D The "second" one is actually gray/blue wire, so it was ashtrays light.
First and third ones are still mystery.

Installed audi coupe's extra dials (oil temp, pressure) and turbo pressure dial. For the coming 1.8t swap :)

Everything works so didn't worry too much about the last 2 wires. Sealed them and tucked away.

End result:
