Resolved Wiring trouble 99 2.4 automatic eclipse

[Jlubbs97]

I was curious if anyone knew where these wires I posted go? The red wire runs from the fuse box and the white wires run under the fuse box in a harness. I took the car apart a year ago to change out torque converter and haven’t touched it since my father passed. I’ve finally started putting it back together but I just cannot figure out where either of these wires go. It’s for a 99 eclipse spyder 2.4 automatic any input would be extremely helpful thanks so much.

Well the double big white wires go the the + battery terminal. From the factory they would gp the the bolt that pinches the terminal closed. Don't know about the red one without looking it up in the manual (which I can't do at the moment).

Mello is right. They go to the positive if the battery. The red one doesn’t look factory to me but I could be wrong.

Is there anything aftermarket in the car that would need to see constant battery voltage? I’m just guessing it was connected to the battery. Once again just by what I see that’s what I would guess but please don’t just hook it up without confirming. But the whites definitely do.

Thanks a bunch I appreciate that big time! My goofy self didn’t even think to pull back the rubber clip to see the bolt staring right back at me.

I bought the car from a guy who had it sit in his garage for 10 years the only aftermarket thing he had in the car was a single din head unit. On the wire it says gasoline and something else that is faded out. I checked the end of the wire and it’s completely corroded it was never even stripped back to be crimped for anything. My guess is he tried to hook something up but never did. I think I’ll just wrap it up in electrical tape and call it good. If I remember correctly a year ago it was just a loose wire hanging out that was stuffed in under the fuse box.
