as said in the description..i would like to know what wires should be coming in and out of the fuse box and what they are please as i changed the fuse box the other day and there was a rather bad mess of extra wires going into it.....some looked like new but dont want to touch them as theres always the chance someone someone has simply put a new spade on the end and end up removing something vital

hope you can help me please as i'd like to remove and re-wire all the non standard wiring in the mini as the previous owner wasnt a tidy one

Like this. Where there are two of the same colour, they go to the same terminal.

OK, I really don't understand why sometimes an attachment will appear in the text and sometimes there is only a link to it. Ah well, I suppose you can click on it.

bump anyone?

hope this helps

the red and orange wires on the left side dropping down are for my radio so you can ignore those. on the right the green wire with an orange tracer has two connectors, one with 2 wires and one with one.

N is brown, same as in all the wiring diagrams.

Some terminals do have more than one cable fitted, as Wilson1275 shows above. As I said all wires of the same colour stay together.
