[TR] Tr3a. Where does this wire go?

[Andrew Uprichard]

The pigtail is for the wiper motor, but you need to be careful that your
harness is correct for the car.  The setup with the pigtail was used on the
TR2 and early TR3:

But on later models (and I think all 3As)  the only wires running to the
switch are the green/black and a ground:

If the harness is for the earlier model and you run the green to the switch
you will short the circuit.

Subject: [TR] Tr3a. Where does this wire go?

In the process of installing a new harness  Things are going well, but I
have one wire behind the dash that has me stumped.  Original harness has one
green wire that goes to the fuel gauge.  The new harness has that wire, but
it has a pigtail on it.  I don't find this on any of the diagrams I have.
Where does this go?  Wondering if it has something to do with the wiper
motor.  My original had the two green wires and the new has just one.

thanks in advance for the help
