Identifying wires - Purple/Brown
Can anyone help with identifying some wiring for me? I need to know what the purple and brown wires are that go into this plug behind the radio on my TD5?

Thanks in advance, Steve

They are a permanent feed to:

Radio
Speedo (2 feeds)
Diagnostic socket
Interior lamp

From fuse 30 [5A] in the satellite (seat box) fuse box

The blue header splits a single incoming feed multiple ways.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Thanks Martin and Hank, much appreciated. I needed to know as after 2mins driving this morning, I had smoke coming from behind the radio and also from hole at the bottom of the OS B pillar and from the roof lining at the driver door (although this last one may have traveled up the pillar so originated from lower down).

Fortunately I stopped in time and disconnected the battery and the smoke stopped. Now I just need to trace the cause. Two of the purple and brown wires to/from the blue block have melted. The internal lights did stop working which ties up with Martins messsage. Looking in the satellite fuse box there is also a melted 15A fuse. Shocked 2002 Defender 110 CSW TD5

Check for rub through on the interior light wiring up the screen pillar and to the roof. You have a short somewhere.
