Re: Unknown white cord

That's somebody's hack wiring and is NOT factory to the car . Eliminate it by following it to where it's connected and do a proper job of disconnecting it , then pull the whole thing out ....

Re: Unknown white cord

Probably someone's attempt at installing fog/driving lights off a toggle switch. Get rid of it.

Re: Unknown white cord

Not factory.

It's in places that look like it was related to an aftermarket alarm. Looks like maybe it was for the noisemaker. If it has/d such a system, locate EVERY TRACE of it, and YANK it.
