O, so I'm going through my new 97 TSi AWD and the wiring is kind of a hack job, Whoever was working on this belonged nowhere near a cars electrical system. My first question is with the wiring on the steering column. As you can see form the first pics, it has a cut red wire at the connector on the column, a cut green wire on the harness connector, and a green and a blue wire spliced together, and a red and blue wire spliced into a blue wire that appears to be what the green one is spliced to. Any ideas what they were doing or why anyone would do this? It appears that they spliced in the connector in pics 1196 and 1195??? (refer to pics 1184, 1186, 1187, 1188, 1194, 1195, 1196)



And my second question is near the fuse box, you can see at the blue splicers in the pics. They have a blue and a black wire with a white stripe spliced into a blue wire. And the black/white wire they cut is spliced into a different black/white wire from a different connector going into the fuse box. (refer to pics 1185, 1189, 1190, and 1191)

Sorry this is so confusing guys. I'm kind of new to posting threads on here. Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

the second question refers to these last 3 pics. thanks again!!

It looks like what was in my friends cadcy that i took out for him. It appears to be an alarm systems wire harness. It's aftermarket for shure because the oem harness dont have wire taps on it. Just remove it and put some electrical tape over the cuts in the wires to prevent it from chafing on anything and causeing a short.
 
oh. i see that would make sense. yeah i hate electrical problems too. i've working on this mess all week. i have a 95 parts car i have been looking off of to get an idea about whats going on with this wiring, but these two completely baffled me. the 95 doesn't have the second connector in the steering column. there was a bunch of stupid shit done with the electrical on this car. i got most of it straightened out now though. they had wires running off the rear speakers into the trunk, and left in the trunk with copper showing.

anyways so i should just cut the odd mismatched wires out, match the wires colors and splice them back together?

You dont have to cut the wires. Just pry the plastic clips apart that are joining the wires together. Make it easyr on your self.
