Will Thammavongsa Posted February 28, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 28, 2015 Why are these unplugged? Car still runs fine without them plugged in. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51029-help-identify-some-wiring-on-an-early-260z/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted March 1, 2015 Share #2 Posted March 1, 2015 Provide colors, and you'll get a correct answer. The disconnected device in the second picture is the emergency start button for the seatbelt interlock relay.

Will Thammavongsa Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted March 1, 2015 Okay I'll go check out the colors. As far as the emergency start switch is it needed if the safety interlock is disabled?

LeonV Posted March 1, 2015 Share #5 Posted March 1, 2015 First pic is likely for AC. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51029-help-identify-some-wiring-on-an-early-260z/#findComment-464598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroDat Posted March 1, 2015 Share #6 Posted March 1, 2015 You might have already track it down, but if not here is a copy of the 260Z wiring diagram. It shows all the connectors and the wire colors are displayed so you can track down your connector that way. I think your connector will be in the top left hand corner of the diagram. This diagram came from http://www.xenonzcar.com/ if I recall correctly. It was more than 25MB when I downloaded it so I compressed it (basically removed all backward compatability) so you will need Adobe reader 9 or later. There is no loss is quality.

anthony_c Posted March 1, 2015 Share #7 Posted March 1, 2015 just compared your pics to my 74.the second photo looks like the ignition reset switch, but with the red button broken off. it has a round connector to the harness.if your car had a/c there would be a second round connector to the a/c compressor relay. what's missing from your car is the vacuum tank, mounting bracket, check valves, and 2 magnet valves. check the FSM, section AC, page 6 for a diagram.if i'm reading this correctly:- the single wire lead connects to the Fast Idle Magnet Valve- the oval plug connects to the Vacuum Source Magnet Valve Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51029-help-identify-some-wiring-on-an-early-260z/#findComment-464608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Thammavongsa Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted March 1, 2015 Wow thanks for the quick replies guys. I believe the PO removed ac. On the passenger side loom the PO had spliced into the harness to wire in the starter. He had removed the solenoid on the firewall since the starter came with one on the starter. That is what he had told me. I'm just trying to get the car into a state where I can identify things that could go wrong in the future and not have to hunt things down the PO did.

Captain Obvious Posted March 1, 2015 Share #9 Posted March 1, 2015 I'm just trying to get the car into a state where I can identify things that could go wrong in the future and not have to hunt things down the PO did. Hahaha!!! So you're going to take the entire car completely apart and go over everything with a fine tooth comb?

Will Thammavongsa Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted March 1, 2015 That looks like its going to be that way. I'm just busy completely doing the floor pans and frame rails. I'll get to the wiring after the rust is taken care of. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51029-help-identify-some-wiring-on-an-early-260z/#findComment-464620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossiz Posted March 1, 2015 Share #11 Posted March 1, 2015 time spent now getting the electrical system cleaned up will surely pay dividends later... lots of good threads on upgrades to the primary wiring, charging system and swapping fusible links for maxi-fuses as the stock setup is a bit dicey.also a good time to look at adding relays to take load off the steering column combi-switch - a common source of problems as well.

Will Thammavongsa Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted March 1, 2015 Can u point me to the writeups on doing the relays for the combo switch?
