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) |

Any wire running along the main harness that is not inside the vinyl tubing with the rest of the harness is an add-on of some kind.
Check the wiring diagram for your year/model to see what brown/white wires are present. See if any of those might wind up with a connector near the shifter. --DD |
