Hi all, Vape ignition query- I have two spare blue wires going to the junction box. I think they’re spare feeds for accessories, but can anyone confirm this for me please?

Anyone got any ideas please? The Vape wiring diagram card is not a triumph of Technical Authorship and loses a lot in translation.

Is it AC or DC? Is the ignition circuit working? Are those two blues connected to the regulator? What loom are you using?

AC running on a simplified MB Developments loom. The two blue wires are coming from the stator. Ignition works, lighting works, everything works, which makes Mercedes if they’re spare power feeds.
I guess I can just tape them up and tuck them away under the rubber cover for future use.

There should only be one blue from the stator which goes to the rectifier yellow. I suspect you may have used some of the ancillary wiring that comes with the kit which is why you have the spare connections. But, as long as everything works, including the tail and stop lights, then I’d think you can safely tape them up.
I have set up a few Vapes, mainly DC, but I have never put them through a connection box.
