indentify this wire for me?

it would take me a very long time to scour the FSM for this. can someone identify this for me?




its brown/black and it was bolted to the little intake thing that sits on top of the radiator shroud. it was bolted to plastic, not grounded, so im assuming thats not where its suppose to go, but id like to know what it is. thanks.

Im pretty sure thats the stock coolant temperature wire, for the temp sensor.

Kinda hard to tell from the pics, just follow were it goes.

that is the wire that hooks up to the sensor that sits on top of your radiator...if it isnt connected then it will constantly beep at you...

thats the coolant level sensor wire. it looks as though the sensor has been removed from your rad. its usually right beside the petcock (aka the filler neck).
if that wire is not making a good ground somewhere it will set off the buzzer, if it has'nt already been removed.

You can see the sensor in your pictures... its that bolt shaped sensor right next to the coolant cap.
