I have several wires under my dash that are disconnected and one end is hot with the key on. The brown one appear to be the ground for some accessory, but what?
The grey could be a number of things, and it appears at least that it was designed to be disconnected at some point (it has a blade on the other bit of wire). Anyone have a good guess as to what these may be? Picture attached. Car is a 1971 but may have been "updated". I have a relay on the back of my fuse block for the horn. I understand that in 1971 the horn was not on a relay. Here are the offending wires, the are wound together to mark them out to us and were just hanging loose randomly when discovered. The shiny blob is what appears to be the other end of the grey wire and the shiny wire is what seems to be the other end of the brown wire. I am not bold enough to just hook them up and see what bursts into flames. Right now, most everything seems to be working, unless you think that these wires are making my tail shifter feel sloppy!  |
