Found this wire/plug under my dash.

[idkiliketurbos]

So I was under my dash and looked up and saw a plug not plugged in, grabbed for it. Sparks flew from a wire that wasn't hooked to anything. Checked it out and the wire mass went up towards the steering wheel. Circled in red is the plug, it looks like a 3 prong type plug. Circled in blue is the wire that scared the shit out of me when it shot sparks. Circled in bright green is another wire coming out of the plug with what looks like one of those wire connectors that you squeeze with a pliers to crush the metal conductor around the 2 wires going in. Any idea what this is?

It's not an error, people need to start hosting their own pictures.

From what I can see of the tiny pic it looks like a turbo timer harness but I could be wrong.

Can you get the pic to be larger? All I can see ar ethe 3 circles and trhe white harness. Figuring out exactly where they are under the dash is impossible.

 

[idkiliketurbos]

I tried to make it bigger and couldn't. The white plug has 2 wires coming from the steering column area into it and has 2 different wires coming out the top that aren't hooked up to anything. Not sure what it is at all. The harness that comes from the column looks factory too.

Could you take another pic and maybe put a trouble light on the floor to shed some more light on the subject? And take a pic with a different camera so you can make it larger. If I could see anything I could probably help you out cause I just got done with my steering wheel reinstallation and some other stuff under the dash.

Here is a better pic. Don't mind the red connecter that is taped on the end of the one wire either, I did that because I ran out of electric tape.

 

[Black Widow97]

what color are the wires leading to it?

 

[scott91370]

do the wires with the red cap & the clear cap come from the center area? If so I would guess they are hooked to the ecu.

The other does look like the clutch disable wire (can you start the car wiithout pressing in the clutch? Make sure it's in neutral!)

 

[idkiliketurbos]

The wires are red and green leading to it.

Also, the 2 wires with the caps on them are coming from the plug. The wires leading into the plug come from the steering column area dn then on the same side of the plug the 2 wires with the caps come out of it. The plug end where you would connect something has 3 slots.

Check the cruise control connector at the steering wheel and check to see if your cruise control actually turns on because the plug is either that or for the clutch. They both are in the same area and look alike (clutch and cruise plug).

Ok I'll check it out. Thanks!

 

[Black Widow97]

It is for the clutch. It is supposed to be taped to a harness under the dash near the steering shaft.

My turn for crappy pictures. You can see the white connector (kind of) near the connector in question in this pic. It is supposed to be taped to that harness.

That plug looks like the OBD 2 plug for checking trouble codes.

 

[TSITurbo95]

Looks like the clutch clip. Unplugged it allows you to start the car without pushing in the clutch. It is the clutch safety switch.

 

[Black Widow97]

It is not plugged into anything on both of my cars and taped to that harness shown above, I untaped it from the harness in the car shown in the pic to show where it goes.

 

[scott91370]

That plug looks like the OBD 2 plug for checking trouble codes.

The plug in the pic only has two slots. Have you looked close at the OBDII connector?

 

[97 Talon Esi]

haa yeah i should, i do inspections all day at work its hard to see with the quality of the picture. But if it has 2 slots it is most likely the plug for the neutral safety switch for the clutch as stated above

 

[idkiliketurbos]

Here is a pic of the end of the plug. Not really sure what it is yet.
