i don't understand how this wire is making your knock sensor work cause the knock sensor only has one wire going to it and thats it......

yeah Holden202 i disconnected them again and the knock sensor works .. im thinking that it doesnt kick in until the engine has reached a running temp ?
cos it didnt repond for a while then as engine got up to temp i started to get knock readings

thats correct there is a minimum temp setting which below this it wont work, stops false knock from things like excessive clearance on a cold motor etc.

From what I can see looking at several VN diagrams, should have the following:
Violet/White........Speed Sensor to Speedo
Black/White........Speed Sensor & Speedo Ground
Pink/Blue...........Speedo Sensor and TCC Power
Grey/Red...........TCC to ECU via pin in ALDL connector
Brown/Yellow......Speedo to ECU
Light Blue...........Overdrive switch on console (and Auto trans Temp switch so TCC can't lock up until warm)
Grey.................Park Neutral Switch
Brown/White.......ALDL Connector/Check Engine Light

Not Sure about Light Green and Yellow, Yellow could possiby be for fuel pump override from ALDL connector

Violet/White........Speed Sensor to Speedo ----not needed have converter for cable speedo
Black/White........Speed Sensor & Speedo Ground---not needed
Pink/Blue...........Speedo Sensor and TCC Power ---needed
Grey/Red...........TCC to ECU via pin in ALDL connector--needed pin 7 i think i holden202 recomended
Brown/Yellow......Speedo to ECU--think will be needed for TCC lockup so ECU now how fast we are going ?
Light Blue...........Overdrive switch on console (and Auto trans Temp switch so TCC can't lock up until warm) --- not needed no switch
