Cut wire under steering column?! this doesn't look good...
1 Attachment(s)
I noticed several days ago that there is a wire hanging from the steering column in my NA 1987. It appeared black, but upon further inspection this morning i noticed that it is actually navy blue. originally, it had just appeared to be 2 wires (one white, one black) wrapped within another coating, but after cutting it open i saw it is actually a white, a black, a green, a yellow, and a red wire, all woven together in copper and subsequently insulated with that navy blue rubber.
Any idea what this wire array is for?:scratch: i cant find the other end of it. Too long; didnt read: 6 wires in one cut under my steering column. how screwed am i? |
Some factory audio systems had door-mounted woofers driven by a separate amp mounted under the driver's side of the dash. The amp connected to the main audio system through a 6-wire shielded cable. The cable was hard-wired to the amp and had a 6-pin DIN connector at the main audio unit. My guess is a previous owner removed the amp and just cut the wire. The other end with the DIN connector is probably still there behind whatever head unit is in the car now.
