The alternator belt broke and the power steering pump belt came off, and somewhere in the process, a couple of random wires were cut. One was a wiring plug/harness that begins somewhere in the same sleeving as the wires that feed into the power steering(?) to the right of the engine bay. In this process, we found another single wire that was disconnected underneath the engine. The large two-wire plug that was torn off, of course, does not match up to the single wire plug. The single wire is run through a black plastic clip on the oil filter adaptor, on the opposite side from the oil filter.

The belts have now been replaced, which took like 15 minutes, but now we're completely lost with the wiring. The two wires are blue and black, while the single wire is blue/black striped. If anyone could take the time to help us identify these wires, it would be very much appreciated. We need the car back on the road ASAP.

LOL, same shit happened to me. I think i accidently got oil on the ac belt, it slipped and snapped off my alternator, but my power steering was fine.
It also snapped off the line that goes to the oil sending unit because my oil gauge doesn't work no more.
 
The two wires weren't connected to each other, they ran through a plug that we have no idea where is located. We need someone to check where they belong. The Haynes manual doesn't say anything. Same thing goes with the black wire...we just don't know exactly where to connect it. :confused:
 
Anyone care to walk outside and glance under their car or under their hood???
:(
 
Have you checked to see what DOES NOT work in your car? If you can do that, it should help narrow down your search as to which wires go where. They should be color coded also.
