Almost looks like the wire that goes to your ABS sensor.

that looks very much like the ABS sensor lead...look on the other side of the car, see that same type of wire?

The small wire is the one i'm talking bout. Not really sure where it leads to...


This is the opposite side. The wire that is frayed off on the drivers side, is tied up on the passengers side

If it's all tied up like that and you bought the car used it could be all sorts of things. Maybe someone started running wires under the car for stereo, cutouts, etc.

I know you say you're not sure where it goes, but can you get under there and see where it ends up?

It is the ABS sensor wire. I'd replace it yesterday.

Edit: I'd also be pissed at whoever sold the car like that and din't say anything. They knew....trust. This also means they found a way to eliminate the warning light (which is a felony in many states) and defeat the TC on/off. Stupid easy to replace.....

I know this because my wire got @#$%ed up in my solid swap.

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
