MGC What are these connection wires?

[69MGC]

Hey guys

Started to remove my damaged battery box and discovered these connector, not connected to anything.

Anyone have any idea what they go to? The lead into the bat box. Could have something to do with the batteries (doesn't seem likely) they could have been put in there by the previous owner. Who knows! This car has seen some hard times.



Thanks for your help.

Hey, Kev -

First guess is maybe a battery trickle charger/tender. Any idea where they go from there?

What petrol pump is the car using?

AHA! You may be on to something here.

What color are those wires? Hard to tell from the picture.

Yup. Original fuel pump wires, Black ground, white, as power. Looks like they were stuffed in the battery box to get 'em out of the way. Odd "fix" to just run another wire rather than find out what the problem was.

Lazy, says me. Would not want a live wire bouncing around near the battery.
