Harness Routing; To Remove The Wiper Mechanism - Lotus Evora Service Notes

Lotus Service Notes

To remove the wiper mechanism:

1. Remove the front clamshell (see sub-section BV.4).
2. Remove the wiper arm.
3. Remove the 4 retaining screws, and withdraw the windscreen gutter with drain tubes.
4. Unplug the harness connector from the wiper motor. Release the 4 cap head screws around the wiper
spindle that secure the mounting bracket to the windscreen frame, and the single screw at the motor end
of the bracket. Withdraw the wiper mechanism.
5. Re-assemble in the reverse order to removal, torque tightening the bracket bolts to 20 Nm.
Note that no service parts are offered for the wiper mechanism. Excessive wear in any part of the mecha-
nism, or motor is rectified by renewal of the complete assembly.
MR.10 - HARNESS ROUTING
The main harness runs from the main fusebox/relay station at the front of the passenger footwell, up to
the center underside of the scuttle, across to the passenger side and through to the top of the scuttle. Then it
runs across the full width of the scuttle to supply all the fascia components and to each of the separate door
harnesses. At the centre of the front bulkhead, a branch of the main harness penetrates the bulkhead and di-
vides along each side to supply the HVAC functions, ABS, lighting and other front mounted electrical equipment.
From the same junction at the front bulkhead, a further branch runs down the centre of the cockpit, beneath
the gearchange mounting channel to supply the fuel pump, with branches also running to each side behind
the seat mounting front cross-member and back to each rear quarter area. The RH branch supplies the roof
harness near the 'B' post area and continues through the rear bulkhead to supply the tailgate and rear lighting
harnesses. The LH branch connects to the engine management ECU and engine harness, then continues
through the bulkhead to supply the parking sensors and TPMS.
