Now that i am piecing the interior back togeather, i find myself asking those small detailed questions....
the e brake wire comes out from the tunnel near the firewall and i think it goes across the floor into a hole w/ grommet right next to the brake switch located in the crossbar under the drivers seat. Did that wire just run across the floor?? I forgot to snap a pic thanks |

So it goes into a harness in the tunnel, then? I've been puzzling over this on Babydoll for a long long time now...

The e-brake switch wire branches off from the main body harness at the rear of the cabin, near the firewall. It then runs along the firewall between the backpad and the sound pad (although the floor works fine) then along the floor towards the cross member. It enters the cross member on the back side through a small round grommet. When you're hooking up the switch you'll want to pull the wire out of the square hole in the top of the cross member, attach it to the switch, then screw the switch into place. There is only a single wire. The wire is a ground wire, and when the ebrake is up the switch grounds the wire to illuminate the warning light. When the ebrake is down, the connection is broken, and the light goes out.
