Okay guys, I have been trying to narrow down a few problems I am having with some electrical stuff in my car. In my search to find out why things aren't working I stumbled onto a bunch of electrical connectors that are either not plugged in, or have been re-routed and I have no idea what they are for. I do know however that my gas gauge, dash lights, cig. lighter, power mirrors, ashtray light, horn, cruise control, and E-brake light on the dash are all not working. So here are a few pictures, and I am hoping someone can help me and tell me what they are all for.
So far I have replaced the fuel pump/float assembly, and checked the connections to the fuel gauge...no luck. I took out the gauge cluster and checked all the connections here, as well as all the bulb's. The cig. lighter, power mirrors, ashtray light, and e-brake sensor are all connected so I have no clue on these. As for the horn, I have not taken it apart yet to check it, mainly because I have no idea how to....so I am gonna wait. I will hopefully be replacing the steering wheel soon anyhow. The cruise control unit/assembly is no longer in the engine bay, so I know that is why it's not working....my question here is: How hard is it, and what all would I need to get to make it all work again? Thanks in advance for any helpful info. PM me if you can help me figure it out.
This is a general view of all the hanging plugs once I removed the piece under the steering column.
1.) Closer shot of a few to help with wire colors and stuff.
2.) Same thing closer view.
3.) This is from directly under the steering column. I though these two would plug into each other, but they dont! WTF...are these for!?!?!
4.) I think these were to the cruise control, but I am not sure. I'll bet it went on the bracket to the left though!
5.) These I assume went to the IAC unit/assembly, but dont know since it was missing when I got the car.
6.) On another note, while I was cleaning out my TB I found all these....doesn't look like they are factory plugs though....hmm...could this attribute to my whistle at 3200 RPM's and above? I have no idea...someone tell me what they are for!
