    red box esc wiring and plugs

    hi
    i have a red box esc with a vacumn take off and a part number 89fb-12a297-bb
    this is the wiring diagram that i believe is for it

    i think this plug is for the water temperature with a "brown" and "brown and green" wire

    i think this is for the crank sensor as it fits


    this is for the coil i believe



    this im not sure what it is for as it is not on the wiring diagram this has one black wire going to it


    ive read elsewhere that it could be for oil pressure, if it is does it need to be plugged in? also where does it go to?

    im not sure what this is for

    it has a brown and green wire going to it

    finally i have this plug

    it has a "black","brown and green","brown" and a "green" wires going into it but has six wires leaving it?
    i think the black and brown are ignition and earth
    but i dont know what the "brown and green" and "green" wires are for

    thanks for any help

    fink the last plug is were it joins to the original car so the black wire would be your ignition in and the brown 1 is the earth... so basically there the only 2 wires you need, wouldnt worry about the temps plugs as i guess youll be using after market gauges

    so i should just leave the plugs that only have one wire going to them as they are only used for gauges on the dash, which i havnt got

    Copy & Paste from Haynes manuals

    I copied and pasted these drawings some time ago.
    One for water temp only ESC and one for for water temp and air temp type ESC. They look the same same but plug is wired different.

    89fb type is not the one in your drawing, your drawing is for 91fb type

    Look at my attachment, think your ESC is the upper one

    Re: red box esc wiring and plugs

    sorry i cant really work out what is happening in the circuit diagram, does this mean i have a air temp sensor aswell?
    also i am using there temperature sender that is already in the zetec thermostat housing, am i right to think this works like a thermistor and changes resistance with the temperature? would this mean it wouldnt matter which way round the sensor is plugged in?
    cheers for the help

    Sorry not been on my PC for the last few days

    No its me that is wrong.
    your drawing is correct for the 89 type ESC
    Thought that I recognized the drawing as the two sensor type ESC, I was wrong

    Esc starting with 89 is the single temp sensor type ESC
    Esc starting with 91 is the dual temp sensor type ESC

    Again SORRY for misleading info
