Where does this Red wire go?

There is a Red wire coming FROM the fog light relay. The schematic say the wire is hot at all times and fused....

but i cannot determine where it goes since it get bunched up with all the other wires and covered in black tape.

i'm trying to remove factory fogs from a 86 camaro into a non fog equipped 86 camaro and want to keep it looking factory.

thanks in advance.

Re: Where does this Red wire go?

The non-foglight car will not have the wires going through the firewall to install the lights anyway, so you'll have to run your own wiring anyways. So, all you really need from the donor car is the lights, and the switch, and the dash cover plates for the switch. Then, you can wire on your own using a relay under the hood somewhere. Just run wiring from the switch to under the hood using a low current, so that when the switch is on the relay is 'turned on' with the low current and thus supplies high current juice from the battery to the lights. The lights can be grounded anywhere under the car. The switch in the car can be wired into the fuse box so that you get the little light in the switch to light up with the dash lights as originally was.
