what is this wire for?

[JiggaBro]

when i pulled off the bumper i noticed this wire that wasnt connected to anything...

does anyone know what its for? there is only one of the passenger side.

Is it possible it is setup for towing so that the brake lights work if the car is being towed behind a motor home?

 

[JiggaBro]

Possible... but an odd place to put it. there's no other way of getting to it withought taking off the bumper. but for now, il go with that

 

[bikingpro5]

do you have fog lights or side marker lights on your front bumper?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

foglight plug probably.

 

[JiggaBro]

That's the funny part. i do have fogs and side markers... but thet do turn on when they are suppost to

I don't know if it is the same for the P5 buy on my crown Vic there was a plug like that for the air bag sensors. Could be like a diagnostic plug for resetting the sensors if you were involved in an accident. I'm fishing though lol.

to your front and rear wipers both work as well as the washers fluid pumps?

In that area are the side markers, washer fluid motors, and the headlight. I believe there is a grounded power source that runs from either the headlight or the side marker lights to the washer fluid motors. My wiring down there is a mess, I have no side markers and my washer fluid motors currently don't work. Couldn't be sure

 

[bikingpro5]

ill have a look at mine in a few hours when im in the garage and see where the plugs go.

 

[JiggaBro]

I use my wipers and fluid almost everyday. and i always use my fogs at night. i really do hope its not airbag related. last thing i need is to find out that the little plug not connected to anything didn't let my airbag go off.

All guesses are welcome!

There is only one way to find out. lol

 

[bikingpro5]

so when i was in the garage earlier i looked at the 2 plugs, the one with 3 wires going into it went to my fog lights and the one that has 2 wires going into it goes to my washer fluid pumps.

 

[JiggaBro]

i just washed my car so ima have to double check in a few days :/

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I was using my washer fluid a wipers almost every day until the motor got weak and stopped pumping. anyone know where I can get cheap replacement motors. Any other models with compatible motors I could scrap?
