Um...what does this wire go to?

Post by daddyman »

Greetings,

So, I installed a new turn signal multiswitch assembly and the cruise is working again. Yea.

But when I pulled the old switch out the one connector was not plugged in, and so the current connector is not plugged in either.

Should it be? And if so, to what, as I did not see anything apparently in need of connecting?

Thanks!

Keith

It goes to nothing. I've seen it in a bunch of the cars I've worked on and its never plugged in. Must have been for an option that got scratched at the last moment.

Sweet! Thanks. I was not terribly concerned as everything seems to be working correctly again, but with my luck...

Happy trails,

Keith

I wonder if it is the trigger for cornering lamps which the bonne never got?
