I tried to follow the wires back but they go into the main cable ... didn't want to inspect to much further but will just get a volt meter and trial something that way.

So I did some wire searching etc and found the indicator and park light wires and the third which goes all the way back into the firewall ... Going to just remove this wire completely or will this affect the system/circuit?
Do I need to loop this earth wire with any of the others?

Update: each earth from both sides are linked together and go all the way back to the connection inside the firewall. I'm tempted to remove completely as I see no reason to keep...?Tony_Whenua wrote:So I did some wire searching etc and found the indicator and park light wires and the third which goes all the way back into the firewall ...

Have found and replaced a melted connection at the firewall too.

Earth the earth wire, dont remove it.
Change as little as possible to prevent creating issues.
