4kq fuse tray connectors

Sure it does... although there are one or two unmarked connections that 
add to the mystery and excitement...

Shown at M75s (there are two of these), for power windows.

> A blue connector with blue/black striped wires

I show two Black/blue wires - one at M75as, which is fuse 18 power to 
the rear wiper (probably not used on a 4kq...) and one at M75ak (M75al 
on some diagrams) which goes to the AC control unit.

> A brown connector with red/blue striped wires

Try P30as, nearby - the red/black wire is fuse 20 power to the deat 
heater and power mirror curcuit.  Should be a fairly heavy wire.

> A red connector with red/white striped wires

That's *probably* the mystery connection, M87k, which goes to the AC 
cut-out relay.  But I'm not sure of that.

One thing to do with the wires I'm not sure of (and I hope you can tell 
from teh above which ones are certain), is to go to the place I am 
thinking they go to, and look for a similar colored wire, then test it 
for continuity.

Another thing that comes in handy here is the Bentley... all the info on 
that diagram came from various Bentley manuals, when I was looking into 
swapping an underhood fusebox into my '82 coupe.  The on-line version 
doesn't show it, but there is one more column showing wire colors and 
fusebox connection positions for the miserable underdash fusebox.

Some of these things vary a bit from year to year - some years show both 
power window connections going to one Bk/Y wire, for instance, others 
just use one of them.  Also, I never found the "AC cutout relay" on any 
of my diagrams, so I wonder if it is for a different platform - for 
instance, the type 44, which uses basically the same fusebox.  As do the 
type 89's... with one or two more connections underneath.

Hope this helps!
