i dont know where to post this but since i have a v6.. one day while ckeckin my brakes i noticed a steel braided wire hanging down under the driver side. there is also a 4 wire plug hanging down right behind the front drivers side wheel. i would really like to know what went there if any one knows... its kinda got me worried lol

 

Pictures would really help a lot.

 

Along with the year of the car...

But it sounds like one of your parking brake cables is hanging loose (that's about the only braided steel wire under there), and the four-wire connector is possibly your transmission case connector. However, without a pic of said connector, we can't tell you.

 

well i know its not the parking brake because that hang down at one time lol, but its an 87... i cant get any pics and its botherin the h3ll outta me.

 

Well, is the four-wire thing inline (OOOO) or square? If the braided wire isn't a park brake cable, then it sounds like someone used the wire to possibly hold something up under there and it broke. Unless, of course, you are talking about a Camaro, which, in 87, used a steel braided speedo drive cable. Does your speedo work?

:edit: Also, if you can, can you tell me the colors of the wires in the four-wire connector? I have an 87 factory manual and can look the thing up for you, provided I have wire colors to work with.

 

man i know i cant do anything without a pic but its really pissin me off. its a square connector with 4 wires. i cant tell what color they are because they are stained and real grimy. it is right under the middle of the floorboard on the drivers side. i even looked under my uncles maro but there was no sign of anything being there.. i looked at the cable and it didnt break it was cut...

ill try to get pics with my cell tomorrow but i know they will suck. ill try google AGAIN lol

 

I wonder if the square plug goes into the tranny...I believe when I took out my engine there was a square plug in the tranny. Ill go and take a pic and upload it real quick.

Does it look like it might plug into this?

 

maybe.. the thing i got might be to short... but thanks for the help man

 

thats actually very similar.. ill have to wait until tomorrow cuz of rain.
