Trying to ID cut wires
So I recently got a '91 Z28 that is in pretty good condition and doesn't seems to have been hacked at all except for a few wires coming out of the firewall on the upper, drivers side of the engine bay. Everything on the car functions perfectly as far as I can tell but I have no idea what these went to.

Re: Trying to ID cut wires

Yeah, my '85 doesn't have those so it kinda threw me for a loop. I'll probably just have to try and trace the wires behind the dash.

True, he kept the headunit, amp, and subs... but the battery's on the other side and these don't look like they'd be for a stereo. I didn't see any evidence of the car having an alarm before but I didn't look too hard yet.

Re: Trying to ID cut wires
Just a thought, it could be wiring for an aftermarket cruise control. I had a similar bunch of wires on my car and that's what they turned out to be.
