I will look for a damaged bullet connector. I have found and replaced
a few.
As i tried to explain ( remember I'm Norwegian), three purple wires at
the fuse box, one to the ignition switch - working OK, one to the
'light/horn at the steering wheel - working OK, and the last one that
probably goes to the rear. I have disconnected it, everything still
works. And the purple/white is a separate wire.
Biri autojumble tomorrow, have to get up early. Sleep well.

PS
I may cheat, and put a new wire from the fuse box to the rear, .....
