What the heck is this red wire??

Post by indyyellow »

This was on the car, still is since I got it. I thoght at first there was some type of boom box system in the car at sime time and this was left over but now having had the car it is very clear it has only had the orig stereo in it. What is this wire. Did the car have a ground problem at some time and this is how they solved the issue???

A ground problem would be my guess too. And i bet they couldn't find the factory ground location...
