ID this wire? February 22, 2010, 03:40:08 AM Passenger side engine compartment, located near the a/c components, a single heavy gauge wire, looks to be yellow color (maybe with a blue or green hash?), no mating plug to be found. Quote Selected

ID this wire? Reply #3 – February 22, 2010, 02:34:45 PM Compare the two plugs in this pic. I think the blueish arrow indicates the hood light, the yellow indicates the plug I'm trying to ID. It's a little bigger, and darker grey.They're both 12V key off. Quote Selected

ID this wire? Reply #7 – February 23, 2010, 05:44:20 PM I don't have my EVTM handy so I can't tell you what it is, but I looked through some pictures I have of my dissassembly process and mine is (was) connected to a plug that goes into the passenger compartment grommet right above the HVAC support stud.Brent Quote Selected

ID this wire? Reply #9 – February 23, 2010, 08:07:33 PM Hmmm.Mine will definitely start without it connected. I don't see what it would connect to. Did Ford leave unused plugs lying about the harness? I wonder if it's for an option mine didn't have (and Eric's did)? Quote Selected
ID this wire? Reply #10 – February 23, 2010, 08:11:30 PM I've got the same wire coming through the firewall, It connects to the starter solenoid.But as for behind the firewall... I'm not sure.It's also different on the 3.8, Due to the fact that it does not have the coupler. unless its shoved down in the firewall... Quote Selected
