timmaaah 0 Posted March 21, 2013 Hi - I've just swapped the starter motor with a new one from Euro Care Parts, and the new one seems to be missing a spade connector. The wire is yellow with a black trace. It works, and turns the engine over fine, but does anyone know what this wire is for? See attached pic. Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattPc 0 Posted March 21, 2013 Don't worry about that wire, it is not used on the UK models. just tuck it away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmaaah 0 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Ah, ok, many thanks. Out of interest what was/is it for? My car originally came from Guernsey. It was connected to the old starter motor,but obviously is now not connected. Cheers :) Edited March 21, 2013 by timmaaah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StueyB 0 Posted March 23, 2013 I had the very same spare wire when putting mine back together recently. This thread has removed my concern...thanks. Love to know what it is for..? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timmaaah 0 Posted March 29, 2013 cant say theres many left over here now, when was it imported from gsy? Sorry - been away for a week and only just saw your post - the car was registered in the UK 01/10/2001, so the first owner had it for 7 years, the first UK owner had it for 4 years (he had a newborn and his missus didn't think that a Corrado would be a suitable car ^_^) and I've owned it since 06/2005. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
