What's this wire for on the coil

[Andy_sheff]

I'm just wiring in leisure battery and adding a feed to the coil live, what's this little wire for with a fuse box on? The fuse is blown anyway so i guess it's nothing crucial?

I dunno! Maybe there used to be an electric fuel pump wired in there?

Have u got reverse lights?

 

[Andy_sheff]

I'm not sure if there's any reverse lights to be honest!

That looks like it might be a suppressor - used to reduce interference to radios etc. If its not connected to anything just remove it - if you get interference to your sound system that varies with engine speed it might be worth connecting it up again.

Going to presume your bus is an import and that's the in line fuse for reversing lights.

Looks likely according to this diagram.
