It has 2 cables, 1 is green and black and the other is just black. I can't see anything within the reach of the connector which is white and has 2 thin slots as the connection

Fuel tank sending unit. Does your fuel gauge work?

Yes all gauges work fine, I've had the car a while and nothing has been going wrong with it but I'm just interested to know what it does. The cable only reaches as far as the horn cable and it doesn't look like anything has been removed. Could it be another cable for a different type of horn? I don't thing they put extra/spare connections when in production but that's the only thing I can think. How do I post pics on here?

Its the wire for the Aircon unit (which obviously wasn't fitted)

 

There is also an extra red wire that goes up the passenger A piller for the webasto sunroon, but isn't connected. During the rebuild I've found lots of things that make no sense (car is original), so must be for other models

I have looked everywhere online for Aircon wiring diagrams but haven't found any yet. I have a 1989 Japan spec Mini with A/C. I haven't seen a supplement for A/C of any year. I would love to redraw those diagrams if anyone has one.
