Title: Found a misterious plug in the trunk...
Post by: Shevretti on January 06, 2008, 05:53:29 PM
Hello!
Last Saturday I was messing up with the trunk lid torsion bars. Suddenly I noticed something that I haven't noticed there for last few years. There's a misterious plug hanging down there teamed with speakers wiring, do you know what is it for?
Thanks!

that would have been for a factory Equalizer.

Equalizer or amp?

I dunno, amp plug has about 12 wires(there is one in my car)... Don't think you could get a EQ without the amp...

Looks to be on the pass side and the amp and keyless entry is on the  drivers side on my '87/88'

the location and colors match up to 1 of the plugs on the factory "amp" (not sure how it amps without a power input???) on my 85 T-bird with premium sound (No equilizer).  I'm guessing it's been hiding on you and suddenly decided to jump out and scare ya!

Update... I guess if I pay attention, the other plug for the amp has the yellow wire (12 V) and black wire (GRND)...  I guess THAT's where the power is coming from...

mine has that same wire, only theres a box type relay plugged into it.

ill take a pic of it tomorrow, I'm pretty sure it was hanging off of the stereo harness.

(i have premium sound, no EQ)

Does it indicate my T-bird may have Premium Sound Sustem wiring? What would be this relay for?
