Hey all, my 1991 mini has lonely wires hanging down from the back dash area inside the car.
I have no clue what these wires are for and would like to find out.
What is the best way for me to get this sorted and tidied up ?
Any suggestions welcomed
Thanks all

There are detailed wiring diagrams in the back of the Haynes manual.

You can use those along with the colour of the wire to work out what they are for.
