Riddik New Member 12 Member For: 9y 4m 25d Posted 19/02/16 05:14 AM Share Posted 19/02/16 05:14 AM While changing the Brake Booster I came across a wire that's not connected and is just laying loose. It has a terminated end to be screwed or bolted somewhere, and is about a foot long from the firewall, where it about 50mm to the right hand side (looking from the front of the car). I can't see where it would have been connected. It looks as though it's been a bit toasty, I'm guessing from the extractors which were fitted before we got the vehicle, and may have been disconnected for a reason. I can fix the wire and put heat shield on it, but have no idea where, or what it's supposed to be doing?

Riddik New Member 12 Member For: 9y 4m 25d Posted 19/02/16 06:08 AM Author Share Posted 19/02/16 06:08 AM Upon looking again, that cable is more like 2 feet long. I drew a red circle in the first photo where the cables comes out of the firewall. I did place a screwdriver to point at the location, but I didn't think it came out too clearly.

Riddik New Member 12 Member For: 9y 4m 25d Posted 19/02/16 06:47 AM Author Share Posted 19/02/16 06:47 AM I've been looking through a pdf service manual, and haven't been able to find anything relating too it so far. Hence, why I asked here. Makes me wonder what was removed. Apart from something to do with original exhaust like a sensor, seeing as it's had extractor's fitted, I don't know what would be missing. It's obviously nothing too vital, as the car runs fine. Thanks for your help.
