Need some help, my car apparently has decided to unwire itself. It's an 86 GT 5.0.

I was relocating my Autometer guages and decided to rewire the lighting leads when I noticed a wire near the firewall under the wiper motor that was just sitting there. The end is stripped off and it attaches to the starter solonoid... so it's LIVE!! The wire is Black with an Orange stripe.

I dug around for over an hour and couldn't find what it would plug into or an extension to it!! HEEELLLLPPPP!!

If someone could trace this wire in their car and let me know I'd greatlt appreciate it.

Cheers

just unplug ur battery.. the black wire.. put a small pastic bag around it to be safe so u dont f**k anything up

Lynch

Ahhhh... yeah.

I need to find what this wire plugs into please... it's there for a reason.

it could have broke from a wire in the wiring harness, I dont have one of those on my car that I can see.
look in the harness where the wire could have fit

Your most likely going to have to the other part of the wire it connected too. Might have to look really hard, just look over the firewall and around the area, most likely it hasn't gotten far.

if the car works.. whats the problem?

how do u know it goes to the starter?

on my 93 the 4 wires coming from under the washer motor are all vaccum lines and they are all black

Lynch

I've pulled the harness apart across the firewall, no sign of any matching wires it would go to.

It doesn't go to the starter, it origionates at the starter solonoid on the fenderwall. (top pic in 1st post). I beleive this is an act of tampering, wires just dont separate in a perfectly clean cut, as I'm sure you're all aware. I didn't cut it, and the car hasn't seen a shop in years.

I'd really appreciate any help. If anyone has an 86, this should be very simple to trace.

so u think someone cut it on purpose? u got enemies?

lol just playin man i wouldnt sweat it. and you would be surprised at how easy those little wires brake

i cracked 2 vaccum lines just by moving them. nothing a little electrical tape cant fix

Lynch

Heh, no... no enemys. Just stupid kids I'm assuming.

Electrical tape is a great idea! Except my origional question still hasn't been answered... I can't find what this wire is suppose to plug into.

Help.................[&:]
