MJ6 Battery Cables & Earth Braids & Earthing Points
Battery cables
The battery -ve cable runs from the battery to an earth point on the chassis RH suspension outrigger. A second cable from the battery -ve terminal connects with a -ve post at the LHS of the battery compartment. This -ve post provides an earth point for the rear harness, fuel pump harness and aerial.
The positive battery cable runs forward along the tunnel top to a +ve post beneath the fascia. This post provides a take off point for the maxi fuses which supply the major circuit feeds. A separate lead connects this post with the starter motor solenoid.
Earth cables and braids
- An earth cable connects the pedal box to the RH front of the chassis front crossmember.
- An earth braid at each rear corner of the engine bay connects each chassis front longeron to the chassis front crossmember.
- An earth braid connects the RH front (rear side) of the cylinder head to the RH end of the chassis front crossmember.
- An earth braid bridges the joint between the LH longeron and the chassis front frame.
- An earth braid at each side of the car connects the scuttle beam with the top of the A post. This braid is for suppression purposes only.
- An earth cable connects the driver's side end of the scuttle beam to the pedal box. This braid is for suppression purposes only.
Earthing points
- At the rear of the car, all earth leads terminate at the -ve post in the battery compartment
- All fascia and door harness earths terminate at the pedal box.
- The LH front harness is earthed to the LH longeron.
- The RH front harness is earthed to the RH longeron.
- The cooling fan harness is earthed to the radiator frame.
- All ECM earths terminate at an earth point on the engine at the RH end of the inlet manifold.
