It comes out of the intake, goes up by the passenger strut tower, comes down by the battery....where i believe battery acid split it...but i can't find the other end of it

Ok, the line that goes from the back of the intake down by the battery loops back into the main wire loom behind the coolant tank. Past that point I don't know off hand, but hopefully that gives you enough to work with.

Thank you!!!! King i'm going to go and find the other half behind the coolant tank maybe it fell after it broke

 

[kingnutin]

It actually goes into the wire loom, so there wouldn't be anywhere for it to fall, I would only worry that maybe it broke inside the loom somewhere.

 

[ahill007ny]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to carefully cut that wire loom to look in there...thanks

 

[ahill007ny]

I found it!!!! But in the process of trying to mend it, the trac off and abs light came on

 

[kingnutin]

Did you damage any of the wires? I didn't think the abs harness wires went into that loom, but I'm not sure...

^^ We are talking about the "large" connector attached to the passenger body brace, correct? If so, there are abs wires in that connector. I would unhook the connector, clean contacts, and apply dielectric grease. Inspect all wires on both sides of the connector for damage. Also check the abs ground under the stock airbox.

Mystery vacuum line

Hey, It runs up the fender well to the left of the fuse boxes. Then along the firewall just below the cowl. At this point it turns from plastic into a rubber vacuum elbow that hooks into the U.I.M. near the sheet metal heater hose bracket (All dealer parts. Visit your local salvage yard).

@ king....i checked the wires in that loom...they don't look damaged, but every time i have to go in that area, the lights come back on so it must be a short in there.....i did buy the rubber vacuum hose to fix the line, now my air blows very strong, and i can now control the directional modes!!! Thank you!!! Also i noticed the previous owner removed the cabin air filter, didn't bother to replace it. Today...i replaced that and the fuel level sensor as well...tomorrow i plan to tackle the thermostat... One more thing... On the passenger side in the front i have this grey connector hanging next to the door light do you have any idea where it goes? Or what does? Thanks

What do you mean by "door light"? You mean the reflector on the interior door panel? Or the front foot area where the lights are? Confused here

 

[ahill007ny]

@g25 right where that vacuum line goes into that wire loom.....i believe it must be a short...if it's driven a few days the lights go out....but like today when i went and attached the new vacuum hose the lights came back on....i'm going to check for some bare wires in there...thanks!!! Hey there's a grey plug by the passenger's kick panel by the light... Do u know where it goes? Or what does it control? Thanks

 

[ahill007ny]

@g25 the front foot area where the light is at....i have a grey plug hanging there..

 

[g25racer]

I believe that grey plug is an "Aux. Power connector" as mentioned on the site below. Go to the "how to" section and scroll down to and click on "click on Auxiliary power connector...". If the connector matches, this is the connector.
