Hi guys, For a rebuild of the driver side door connector, I'm looking for a wiring diagram for a 348 spider. I 've found a diagram for 348 tb/ts, but seems not to be identical to the spider one. If somebody could post or send me a pdf copy of this specific door connector diagram for a 348 SPIDER, it would be very very appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your help ! Regards,
Hello BOB, I have a 348GTB but the wiring is the same as that of the tb/ts versions Do you really need the specific diagram? There is not a lot of wiring in there I now Alain by the way My friend bought a Lotus there regards, Frank
The important thing is that the wire colors are exactly the same on both sides of the plugs. If you have a red/green wire under the fender going to the plug on the body, it mates with the same color going into the door. Just match the colors and you can't go wrong.
It seems that ,according to my friend, the colors are not the same each side of the plug... si it's why i want to check using the wiring diagram. So it would be cool if I could find one !
if you go on MY348.com you can (hopefully) download the 348 workshop manual. Scroll down to section L for the electrical diagrams. They do it by system, so you'll have one diagram that happens to include the mirrors, and another one that will have door locks and windows, so you can find it all, but it won't all be in one easy diagram. I'll attach a few pictures from that source: In the diagram part 148 is the door connector plug. According to those, it really should be the same wire colors on either side of the plugs. Not sure what happened with your friend's car, but it seems his was an anomally. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for these diagrams, but aren't they diagrams for 348 tb/ts ? The spider has slighlty different connection I think ??? Could anybody confirm ?
Hello Geoffrey, I don't have a wiring diagram for the 348 spider, but if you are trying to rebuild the door connector maybe it help you to figure it out: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/348-355/372387-trying-improve-my-348-home-3.html And as pnicholasen said, "The important thing is that the wire colors are exactly the same on both sides of the plugs". It lokks like more difficult than it really is. Good luck!
Hi, I appreciate the thread. I am purchasing a ‘94 348 Spider and the seller reports that the driver’s door connector is crunched and his shop is attempting to fix. Any idea as to what caused the adapter to be in your case to be remade? I’m chasing some of the same things in this thread as I’d like to get the car completed so I can take delivery. : ) Cheers, -Mark
Hi, Mark. You should find some rather extensive threads on connector repair on this forum. Just use the words "door connector". This should give you the tools required, part numbers of plugs, where to find the plugs, etc. There was post last week on the subject. I assume your shop has a wiring diagram. Note that you may find variations between the wiring diagram and the car in relation to the circular connector near the door hinge. Pin 9 on the diagram may be pin 15 on the car and pin 4 on the diagram may be pin 13. Here are the two diagrams I have (see plug marked 147): Windows Mirrors
Ma Many thanks Ian! I found this thread here https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/348-door-wiring.70995/#post-135138836 from scraping thru my348.com (awesome resource). Again, many thanks!
I bought new AMP connectors and will rewire the door side with silicone wires and gold connectors this winter. If your having it redone consider silicone wire jacketed wires as they bend easily and wont flex and break the connectors nearly as easy if at all. Good luck with your car!
I'm up to the same chore right now on mine .... found one wire in the harness that was out of place from the last technician. Will be all correct soon. I will place the joints inside the door and away from the flexion. The connector will be re-pinned and the wire I am using is highly flexible with the last inch demobilized to keep the failure point from occurring again. I got the various diagrams from this forum and then compared them to the actual color scheme to determine which one is correct for my 92 TS. Fun stuff! Image Unavailable, Please Login
What wire are you using? I have silicone jacketed copper stranded wire 14 & 18 AWG. Check in to Solderseal as well as opposed to cripms. You can get torches and Solderseal from https://www.masterappliance.com/. Test of butt crimp vs Solderseal
High strand count wire for the 18 awg. Local electrical shop supplied. Your silicon version sounds even more "high end". 14 awg is yet to be procured ... there are of course only 5 of those. Just do a good job on your connections, make sure the joints do not land up in the flexing area (meaning add long enough new leads), and secure that jointed area inside the door and make sure to protect the wire/pin interface with good shrink wrap. I have a buddy helping me who is an electrical wiring pro for industrial automation. That always helps!
I got new AMP connectors and will wire in new connectors with silicone jacket wire. It is flexible like wet spaghetti so it wont break in the door jamb. Having someone who does electronics for a living is a big plus! Good luck!
