Haha I'll take a quik second to explain to you poisnd.
I'll give my opinion, not to be the smart ***, but to help
the one who posted th thread get as much as diff views of his issue as possible to help him make the best decision possible. For example, if I posted a thread I wouldn't mind if some put "idk" simply because it helps me understand that it could be a complicated situation.
In this case, I let him know that I didn't know what that wire could be either.
Nice cobra by the way

lulz...understood.
Sensors go for around $20 each on Ebay and take 5 minutes to install.
Maybe you have the skillz of Schumacher or Andretti, but it serves it's purpose to the rest of us pitiful mortals....

Damn, I love the ABS/TC in my explorer...but I honestly don't see much of a use for them in my stang...But I don't drive my car in inclement weather either, thats what the exploder is for. Infact i just finished fixing the ABS in my exploder last week, WhitefoxGT helped me out with that. Sensor ring was cracked.
OP, I would atleast look into what has been done to disable the ABS light, even if the bulb was just pulled. That leads me to wonder what else has been half-assed on that car...unsafe IMO.

Well heres the thing, when i turn the key to the on postition...all the light that should be on, are on. So nothing wrong there. And the TC is linked to the ABS, so if the ABS was out, wouldn't the TC act up? But i know for sure, that the TC works because it has worked for me numerous times since I got it in May.
Is there a chance it's strictly there for traction control?
I just looked at my car... I don't have a wire like that there, just the one on that bracket and the emergency brake cable. My car does not have traction control - but (I think - never engaged it, been nice to car) it does have ABS, at least it has wheel speed sensors and gears and all.
(This is your pic enlarged OP, not my car)
That larger diameter wire that the small one is zip-tied to is the wheel speed sensor wire if I'm not mistaken. The big one is the e-brake.
So unless I'm crazy or stupid (good chance I am), I think that it's superfluous and probably something someone added in there for some reason maybe neon for a license plate border or something. But get some second opinions before you cut it. For now, just tie it up better with those plastic zipper ties.
