GTPrix Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I'm not too keen on the idea of cutting a wire while the car is running to se what it will do, but I will investigate further. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Not while its running! Just cut it and see if anything weird happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPrix Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Haha, what would happen if the car is off? It might not start - but nothing will happen just sitting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeZ34 Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Have you tried to trace the wire after it passes through the firewall? That'd be the easiest thing to do. Dig around under the dash until you find it. Since 97's were known to have a very clean and simple wire install under the drivers dash it may be easy to locate. It's always possible that someone installed a remote start unit on it and never passed on the remote when the car was sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPrix Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Yes very possible. I haven't had a chance to tear the dash apart yet, nor have I looked to see if the wire is tapped into the white wire you referred to. Luke - You think that perhaps that blue wire is spliced from a white one, somewhere back in the bundle? Thats what the remote start would hook up to? I will dig around tomorrow.

LukeZ34 Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I installed a remote start unit on my fiancee's old 99 GTP, and the tach signal wire on it was Purple/White: So unless the wire colors changed between those years for the tach signal (and believe me, they could have), than I'd doubt that's what it's for. Like I said, dig around under there, that's the easiest way to find out. If you can't figure it out, post some pictures of where the wire terminates under the dash (if you can see it). Chances are someone on here will know what it's for then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPrix Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 OK perfect...I will keep you updated. Thats right where I think the wire is splitting from. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPrix Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Looks like LukeZ34 was right! I pulled back the loom a bit and noticed that the wire was spliced into the pulple/white wire. By the way, does this look like a trans cooler to you guys? It sits right in front on the radiator. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
