Hello,
I am working on getting my B running and I have a few loose wires that I am not sure what they do or if they are important.
One of those wires is on the ignition coil. It was connected to a capacitor. The capacitor was not connected to anything. I'm assuming if it is supposed to be connected to anything it's a ground. We weren't getting a good spark so I have a jumper from the battery directly to the positive side of the coil. Get a good spark and the car fires quite nicely. Though the key doesn't shut the car off. This is just temporary.
Another wire is more mysterious. It comes across the engine bay from the driver to passenger side. My car has AC so maybe it's for that but I cannot see any plug for it. The plug is not one that shows up anywhere else on the car that I can tell. It is oval/elliptical and has a decent gauge wire coming off of it with a 2-3" rubber boot at the end.
I can take some pictures later but was curious if anyone had any insight.
