« on: 26 May 2007, 20:27 »
In Engine bay to the left looking down there are two wires, one connected and one not connected:  Any ideas?

Not too sure, but i noticed one on mine when the grille was off the other day. It seems to be some kind of filament or coil, i was going to trace the wires but forgot! Mine was on an 8v digifant btw.
