The Wiring Loom
According to howacarworks.com "the electrical wiring in a car is a system of colour-coded wires called the loom. Where several wires run side by side they are bound together with insulating tape or plastic sleeving". It can also be called a wiring Harness. In the GT6 it is divided into two sections, one serving the front of the car, and one the rear. These are linked under the dash by a connector like this:
The split is roughly as below:
| CIRCUIT | LOOM |
| Front Parking lamp | Front |
| Hazard warning | Front |
| Headlamp flasher | Front |
| Heater | Front |
| Horn | Front |
| Instrument illumination | Front |
| Temperature indication | Front |
| Turn signal flasher lamp (Front) | Front |
| Windscreen wiper | Front |
| Heated rear window | Rear |
| Fuel indication | Rear |
| Plate illumination lamp | Rear |
| Reverse lamp | Rear |
| Roof lamp | Rear |
| Stop lamp | Rear |
| Tail lamp | Rear |
| Turn signal flasher lamp (Rear) | Rear |
This loom is protected by only three 35amp fuses as follows:
