What wiring can be removed? Help please! - paulgtt - 20-09-2015
After some advice please guys
Stripping the car out for track use and wanted a few pointers on which wires can be removed.
All im wanting is to be able to open the doors with the key and start the engine, don't want to take something out and not be able to start the car!
1.
This lot is from the map light and a black dome thing (sensor of some sort?)...

...traced it down the pillar to this plug, can this be removed without any issues?

Traced it back and it goes across into the passenger footwell, its the bottom black wire in the passenger footwell

Whats for what here!?!
Iv taken the airbag box out and traced the wires from that to the seat airbags. Theres still some orange wires there, are these for the seatbelt tensioners? Can these be removed? Needs to be able to pass an MOT.
What else can come out? I assume in this lot theres fuelpump, rear lights, rear abs sensors?

In the A-pillars theres a sensor (assume for alarm/immobiliser sysytem) can these be removed?
Behind the rear view mirror theres a black box with wiring that runs down the passenger side A-pillar, whats this for? along with an earthng wire which earths on the shell behind the map light housing, can these both be removed?
Sorry if these are all silly questions but wiring isn't my cup of tea lol!
Thanks in advance

If it's purely going to be for track use, I'd carefully remove everything before wiring back in only what you want operational. All orange wires inside are airbag/pretensioner, they can go. The wiring up the A-Pillar to the map light and central locking sensor (black dome thingy) can also go. That bodge by the airbag ECU isn't standard AFAIK, bin it.
The Haynes will help identify what goes where, but be aware that the wiring colours may be wrong, trust the numbers!

ite oblong bit Great pictures, can see what's what and where etc. now, keep them coming, but sorry, cant help with the wiring....
the white oblong bit on the near side, to do with the air vent, on the bulkhead, is that a pollen filter??

The silver box, bottom right along the sill? Thats the seatbelt tensioner I believe.

the silver sill box's are side impact sensors for the airbag system
RE: What wiring can be removed? Help please! - Toms306 - 21-09-2015
The white thing isn't a pollen filter, its one of the heater control flaps, there aren't any pollen filters on 306s.

You can have it when I take it out, just cover the postage.
