Re: Brown wire

Wouldn't be anything factory like that, someone has rigged a wire in there to power something.

Re: Brown wire

the brown wire seems to be in with the cruse control it appers to be a factory module but when I took the dash appart I can tell that wasent a factory wire job. the wires are just run thru the firewall no grommett in the hole or anything. so it looks like I am going to remove all that stuff thanks all for the help
