wire cut
ok there is a wire that goes to the master cylinder which i believe is the low brake fluid sensor. does this wire run underneath the engine? right on top of the cross member under the engine their is another wire that has been cut and it appears to be the same color as the one coming off of the sensor. why in the hell would somebody cut this?

Re: wire cut
No idea why they cut the brake warning sensor, but no it doesnt go under the engine
It goes directly to the C100 bulkhead near the booster. Pin A5
Not sure on the wire near the K-member, tan and tan/wht were very common

Re: wire cut
Do not solder the two back together until you know what both go to. Bad things happen with guesswork in the electrical system
Trace the K-member wire back to its loom. What vicinity is it in and what other wires are in the loom

Re: wire cut
yeah all the gauges work. the wire that is laying on the cross member runs back through the firewall and it has a black wire cover over it. i didnt see anywhere that it could connect under the car or on the drivers side.

Re: wire cut
the wire on the k member is black and it has to wire prongs in it and it has hard insulation kinda like a coax cable.

Re: wire cut
The only coax in the car is from the radio to antenna and it doesnt go anywhere near the K-member
Sounds like someone added it later

Re: wire cut
yeah i'm just going to cut it off short and ignore it. it obviously has nothing to do with the running of the car. thanks for all of the help!
