Stray Wires!

4PASNU · May 20, 2003, 10:12:35 PM

I have a few stray wires under my dash that I can't identify and have no clue as to where they go. I have pictures of them but don't have a place to host them. If there is anyone that might be able to help me identify them I can e-mail them to you. I'm hoping that maybe they are the cause of a few of my minor problems! Thanks.

cardomain resized the pics automatically, but should still be large enough to discern what the stuff is. Hope this helps! 8)

I'm pretty sure that the first pic is part of the steering wheel controls, as I have seen it in both my TGP and my 92 SE parts car.

No one out there can help me with these pics. :cry: Come on, someone please!

Oh, I'm sorry, I know exaclty what they are but was holding out on you! :twisted:

The first one is the translator for the steering wheel controls, it takes the signal from the column and interfaces it to the radio.

I don't know about any of the others. I haven't spent a lot of time under the dash, and even so, there are so many wires. The best thing to do is get the wiring diagram and see what wire colors correspond to those wires and try and narrow it down.

Thanks Chris A for the info on the first one. Well, I don't have any wiring diagrams and don't have the money right now to buy them (I wouldn't know where to look for them anyway). Does anyone out there have a scanned copy, PDF file or pictures of the wiring diagrams that they could send me so I can look into this further? I would really appreciate it! :D

okay the first pic I need info on that. I found a little box like that on the passenger floor when I first got the car. I never hooked it up because I didn't know what it was or where it hooked up. I looked under the steering wheel and I can't seem to find the connector. anyone know where the wires originate? so I can follow them. I would love to have the steering controls working. I put I different stereo in it butI'm thinking about hooking it back up just to be stock.

idbeast said he was going to hook me up with the answers to my questions on this topic when he got the chance. Jim, you out there and have some time to answer this for us?
