WTH IS THIS!

[emolineaux]

ok i got into my 98 z after work today and i saw a wire tucked up in the center console that was falling down so i pulled it a little and the one side is cut with like 7 colored wires wraped in a black covering. it goes up towards the center of the dash but cant see exactly where it goes. you guys have any clue?

harness for traction control if you had it ... maybe.

Dunno why it would be looking like that though.

[sweetbmxrider]

maybe an alarm?

[Savage_Messiah]

Is it an auto?

[sweetbmxrider]

Stock headunit?

[emolineaux]

yea i have a stock raido in it. i did a little more investiagating and its routed up toards the center of the dash but than is tucked under the carpet and ran towards the driver side underneath the pedals. could it be a cut slp fan switch wiring? it looks similar to what i had in my 93 just dont remember how many wires were at the connector.

I was gonna say that it looked kind of like the neutral safety switch wiring on my car, and follows a similar route

[emolineaux]

ill have to do some more searching tomorrow after work to see exactly where this goes to. now im really wondering about it

[WildBillyT]

I would guess that it's something to do with the sound system.

[Savage_Messiah]

flux capacitor?

[sweetbmxrider]

i was thinking alarm or remote start

[emolineaux]

well i pulled on it some more and it runs under the carpet and it went to the foot rest all the way on the left i couldnt tell if it went through the firewall from there or to the back of the car

looks like a ethernet cable.

[Tru2Chevy]

looks like a ethernet cable.

Negative.....ethernet has 4 solid colors and 4 of the same colors striped with white.

I'm thinking stereo too...

[emolineaux]

[Slo86Bird]

ii just said it looked like it lol. ethernet also has 8 wires not 7. only thing it coulda been for a stereo would b like a remote..wire is too thin for anything worth while. it looks like 32 guage.

*Dons Dork hat*

Plus:

1.) The term is Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 cable.
2.) It would be twisted pair. This isn't.
3.) These wires don't look like 24 gauge.

Not always. Sometimes the other (white stripe) wire is not colored at all, usually with low quality cable

Those aren't the only terms....I remember when they ripped all the Cat3 out of my dorm and replaced it with 5e :razz:

def aftermarket... I gutted and re harnessed a manual Z and never ran across that. to my knowledge and def not in the harness we have in the garage.

[emolineaux]

well i got arond to doing a little searching today. and it ran to the back of the car and was cut back there so im guessing it had a cd changer like some of you said.

OMG that is exactly what it is... they prolly had it jerry rigged because that end should be like a S-video connection on the end. That is most def a cd changer cable.
