Technical Duologic electrical connections

[Landrange]

Hi all!
After putting back on the gearbox, the gear robot, or the Duologic unit, after changing some gaskets etc, there are one cable with a plug I cannot find where to plug in?
Its marked with F, and I can absolutely not see any place to put it in. Anyone done this?
Greetings from Norway!

Hi - there are three external connections to the dualogic wiring harness (assuming you haven't removed connectors to solenoids etc):

- The big multiplug - fairly obvious where that goes;

- A connection to the pump (front right of engine bay as you stand in front of it);

- And the connector to the speed sensor on the back of the differential (below the very back of the dualogic unit). This last one can be difficult to see....

Thanks! I had all the connections off, since I removed the unit from the gearbox. All of them are back in place, exept for one, which comes out from the tube pointing foreward with four connections, one at the top, one a bit lower to the right of the other, and the third under the "sphere"
See the picture. At the left with the red tip, is the one I mean.

I found the connection! It is pointing out against wheel, really hard to see, and even harder to get to, almost gave up, had to lower the gearbox a little. It was also very difficult to plug it inn, not quite sure what switch it is but its one that I put in as a new part from the repairkit.

So, after putting it all back together, I was trying to start the car. Been sat for about 3 years. It starts but stops again instantly, and it goes a bit slow around, batteri is fine. Any ideas?

Old fuel? Earthstrap ok?

Yes, I though I should check the fuel or fuelpump. Have to start somewhere!

Found the cause, the engine was turning slow, and it turned out to be a stuck alternator. Thats why it didnt start. So now it starts fine.

Next problem now is leaking duologic oil from the black "sensor" or what its called, under the "sphere". Not sure what kind of sensor/switch this is but oil comes out of it. Have tried to find info about it, and I do find some on this nice forum. When I search for this device, Magneti Marelli PF7C/00, on the net I find it and together with a green O ring and a black ring that fits inside the o ring, seems I dont have the black one, is that causing the leak? I dont remember how it was back then when I took it apart. Anyone ever heard of swapping the gearbox to a manual one? I think its possible but probably a lot of work involved!

If you do an eBay search using 023000009010 there seem to be some sellers offering sensor plus seals (I think it is that one, with the little plunger?)

Yes thank you, thats the one. Not sure its something wrong with it, only one seal missing or leaking?
