Broken Ground Wire?

[JaBradt85]

I found this the other day and can't seem to find where it's supposed to go.

That could be the trailer wiring harness for a brake controller ... if it is, there's a couple heavy gauge (10 AWG) wires in there with ring connectors for attaching to the fuse block.

 

If everything in your truck works, and you don't tow, I wouldn't worry about it.

to the hood ?

Am I the only one that cannot see the wire he is talking about? As already posted, there are two wires tied up to the harness. Each one has a ring connector attached, and each ring connector is a different size.

Is the wire in question the one with the orange part id strap wrapped around it, and is running across the brake booster, and ends up looking like it is the harness for the brake fluid sensor?

Does the wire still have the connector attached? You could just take the loose harness or wire, and use it to locate where it should go, Basically hold the end of the wire and work inside the circle that the wire is the radius of. It must connect somewhere within the area it covers. Keep in mind the wire will also have slack in it when connected, so, the connection is closer to the last tie down point than it is to the full length away.

Fixed it.

[Duelin]

You didn't elaborate on what the fix was or what you were fixing. Some of the members didn't even know what you were trying to fix. I assumed that you ripped it out and that was the fix.

 

Well I gota go get my Fix.

 

Happy New Year

It was the 9982 loomed wire that runs from the firewall to the hood. I put a new connector on it and bolted it back to point in the good where it goes. There is a link just up a bit of where it goes.

For anyone reading this thread, the idea to follow is look at the end of the loose wire, if it has no connector, then you simply need to look for a connected that is missing its wire. It will be somewhere within the radius of the circle the loose wire can make.
