I found some disconnected wire in the frunk of our 1972 914. The wires seem to have been hacked also and I don't know where the where/should be connected to. They are in the fruck near the brake oil reservoir.

Anyone that could point me to where those should go to?

It looks like a brown/white wire ... does your horn work? There is a BR/WH from the steering column switch to the horn Relay (at the 85 spot)- not sure if that's it but look at items #26 and #51 in the wiring diagram. No idea why it would be over by your reservoir though ..


Horn in perfect working condition.


OK, then what about the parking brake contact and the seatbelt warning lights that illuminate at the combo gauge - those wires are BR/WH and I think they tie into each other. .. well, also the master cylinder has a BR/WH wire too as well, that lights at the same place in the combo gauge (+ an all brown one) for the 'Brake warning light switch'. That might make more since from where those wires are.



I don't have the seatbelt warning light in the car so I guess this is not the cable for this. Master cylinder sensor already has the cable going to it. These cable seem to be working with the brake warning light but I am not sure about this. I will look at this when I will be back around the car. I am chasing some issues with my brake light warning reason why I hope this broken wire could be the solution to my problem.


Just to verify, does the dash light come on when the E-brake handle is up? .. and can you make out whether the wires going to your M/C are original?
