I have a wire that seemed to fry itself but i dont know what it is for. it runs through the front harness (goes across the front of the car under the hood latch bar) it is black with a yellow line and is either a 18 or 20 guage wire. and to the best of my knowledge it does not run into the relay box. any way i can figure out what it goes to with out taking my entire harness apart?

 

Does the car start with it disconnected?

 

yes car starts and runs. but i dont have a rotary in it. so the engine has its own harness and computer.

 

Check any and all nearby connectors/relays/fuses in the front harness. You should be able to see the wires going into the back of them. Find one with a B/Y wire, then test the continuity between that pin and the wire that's come apart (I assume some metal is showing). The alternative involves going through the wiring diagrams and stopping on every page that shows the front harness highlighted, then look at the bottom portion that shows the connectors and look for a B/Y pin, then see if that pin appears on the page. Not fun, but could be done in a half hour.

 

You are SURE that it is not Brown and yellow, which could be two things - cruise control to diagnostic ( probably not ) or front hood latch to CPU.


Check and make sure. Strip back to good wire and use a strong light.
