Who wants to play name that wire?

[ghettorapboy7]

hey i have a problem somebody installed an safc and a apexi turbo timer in my car and after finding out that they didnt even use any kind of butt connector (just used scotch tape) i took it out. after connecting all the other wires together i have no idea where these 3 black wires goto im guessing gauges or something but thats where you guys come in. if you need any more help let me kno thanks for your time.

Can you give us a little more info, what are those plugs connected to? Do those black wires go into the factory harness? Are there any open wires left on the plug? 99% of the time black is ground, but there is that 1%

Pretty sure you're holding onto the wires that are supposed to be in a ring clamp and they go to ground via a bolt next to the ecu mounting point.

Wires in the brown things should be o2 and the 3 black should all be in 1 loop bolted to the dash to the left of the passengers left foot

Sorry Spoolin92GSX those plugs goto the ecu. Yes they are from the factory wiring harness. No there is no open spot for those wires to goto a plug but not 100% sure tho and yea that 1% scares me i didnt just want to figure they were all grounds.

oh ok so basically they all need to be connected together and grounded via bolt correct? Just making sure thanks for the prompt help.

My ghetto way for checking if something is a ground is taking a multimeter to it. Ground to the chassis and touch a wire, voltage, not a ground, nothing, assume that it might be a ground. It is not nearly even a 20% effective technique, but it has saved me from shorts a few times.

Let me know if u need any other pics?. I can take a better one of this tomorrow if u want.. I was in a hurry.. I had too peeeeee?. Also...that ring everyone is saying those should be in...is defiantly in your second picture already hooked up... Both black with red should be chassis grounds.. One should trace to the one in the loop in your second picture that's your knock and 1 of the 2 o2 sensor grounds.. The other black with red should go out the firewall and connect to the loop on your firewall in the engin bay just left of the clutch master cylinder that's the other o2 ground. The white and black comming from the brown sleeve is for the knock sensor, white will be starting from the far right, top row of wires 4 wires in going left, the black will tie into the same interior ground as the interior o2 ground.. Thes two tied together to the one black with red dashes going to the interior ground
