i know its the brown/blue wire but ive got a choice between 2 wires to choose from (the two wire twisted toghether on left of pic)? not sure which.. is there any way of finding out for eg- does this light normally come on for a short while when the engine is started?

and cant remember what this is on the nova loom exactly? i know it comes up to the battery and connects to the terminals but what is for, headlights?

should there be two brown/blue wires free? because theres also one coming of the fuel relay that has been snipped so im guessing mabye that will go the one i dont use??

Not sure to be honest would have thought you need the brown and blue off the fuel relay if its there, on the wiring diagram for an xe it doesnt mention one, just a brown and black and brown and white.

The one you have circled on the relay is red and blue and its power to the injectors IIRC, and you join the brown n blue up to what ever colour the Nova EML wire is and that will work and to get the flash codes up if you have any problems its brown and yellow.

lol that pic isnt of mine.. the one circled in the middle (brown/blue) doesnt look to be going to the fuel pump! so ill try what you said by switching on the ignition to find the correct one:thumb:

Think the thing you are unsure of what it is is the relay for the horns as the GSi has two horns.

The ecu light will be a single wire, not a twisted pair like that

as lee said its for the multi tone horns you dont need it if you only want to use a single horn:thumb:

yea thats what im trying to figure out, which one it is? i dont think there should be a spare brown/blue wire should there? thats why im guessing one of them (the one that will be left over) must go back to the brown/blue wire coming of the fuel relay! you cant see in my pic and im not sure why but it has been snipped:roll:

to get my eml to work, iv had to twist two diff coloured wires together like a pink and yellow, stupid early looms lol
