Hey,

Does anyone know what this is? In my passenger footwell fuse panel there is a broken red wire with blue 15a fuse inline. I think I broke it yesterday pulling the heater box. Does anyone know what it is? I will post some pics, if anyone can identify it I will be eternally grateful...

What year, I'm sure someone with a FSM can identify it for you.

That's an aftermarket add on. Looks like all you did was pull the B+ side out of the fuse panel. My guess is, the PO slipped it under one of the existing panel fuse legs for power.

Finish what you are doing and leave it off for now. If you find something that doesn't work, then you know what the fuse was for.

this is on a 99.

I don't see how it could be aftermarket because the PO was a middle aged woman, and the original owner and the car was totally stock when I got it.

When I removed the tranny tunnel cover, i found that she also left me $67.06 in quarters in the space beneath the tranny shifter, the 4wd shifter, and the parking brake! Amusingly, that covers most of the cost of this project.

I would almost guarantee you that is an add on of some sort. The owner may not have done it, but a shop or someone did I think. Also on the $67...you're exaggerating right?

I'm not exaggerating; I counted 67.06 so far and there are a few still down there in more stubborn locations that I'm gonna work on later. lately it had become extremely difficult to shift into 4lo and I thought something was up, but, upon closer inspection... well you know.

Anyway on second thought it's def the lead to my sunroof; where do I plug it back in?
