Had the dash off of Ribena lately and I've found a wire that seems to be 'spare'.

It's white with a black trace - the end has an insulated connector.
I've tried to find what it's for from a few wiring diagrams but no luck.

Maybe a previous owner did something and removed the accessory before selling the car.

Your thoughts??????

Hooroo

White with a Black trace is usually an ignition wire between the coil and distributor.
Just a guess but could be a sensing wire for the later 3 instrument Clubman voltage sensing tacho????

Possibly a hidden kill switch ??? Check the wires to the coil and see what colour they are .

White/black I think goes to the coil, so is probably a tach sense wire. It's perfect for a kill switch as it will ground the -ve side of the coil.
