I have another couple mystery wires.
The first I assume is not original previous owner hijinks. It is cut at both ends. One end found near the shifter. It runs from there, through the tunnel to the engine compartment, along the firewall. The other end cut near the oil filter. It looks like a type of coax cable. Perplexed as to what it would be for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I still have this brown / white stripe wire with spade connector that lands near the shifter. It is wrapped in the factory bundle tape and appears original. I can't find it on the wiring diagram or figure out what it is for. Insight appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

It's an additional electrical connection - as opposed to the physical connection of those two cables. You pull the red lever up, it physically pulls those two cables opening the warm air valves. when you pull it all the way up (or nearly) it grounds the connection to the heater blower that sits on the drivers side next to the relay board, turning it on.

Fascinating! Can you share a photo of where that cable terminates? I looked at our lever but didn't see anything that looked like it was meant for an electrical connection. |
