    Default Unsure what to do....

    Hi...I recently took apart all my interior and took off all the panels on teh inside to get to the subframe that touches the roof(frame). Now when i took off my A pillar (drivers sidde) i found a little black wire (black insulation that is) and it was onl abou 2--3mm diamater and it had a bit of copper exposed at the end.. Now im unsure where its from or what it does....Is it safer to just electrical tape it and just leave or would it be safer to gorund it??since its black i assumed its a grouding wire...but theres no solder on it or anything so unsure how they kept it in place.....what should i do?

    Do you have climate control? just a guess but it could be the temp sensor.

    Just did a search and the sensor is in the dash near the vents so I was way off.

    I found an electrical pdf and others for download on here:

    tape it up, just because it's black doesn't mean it's supposed to be connected to ground.

    Check it with a tester with ignition on and off.... follow it back to see where it goes.

    Black? negative/earth?

    Antenna?......wheres you aerial?

    Part of a old alarm sensor?

    Im sure if you tape up the end nothing serious would happen.

    P.s saw your blue neon pics.....what a Leb Lol...
