I am restoring my first 4 door 1968 saloon, and I have found a yellow wire behind the B Pillar trim. HELP, what does it do???
All the electics work, and I cant find it on the wiring diagram. Does anybody have any ideas?
Best regards,
Shaun

Hello Shaun,
it's not original, yellow is used for very few functions and none of those apply to a Minor. I'm afraid you'll have to try and trace it's route, any non standard switches, relays, fuses etc are suspect.

I think the interior light wires are purple.
My guess is that there has been an alarm fitted at some point and these are leftovers.
Yellow wire from a radio is for an electric aerial.
