Alright El, I took a look... hope this helps.

Yes, both wires coming out are connected. I have no clue what either are for.

The first one is like a quick connect going in right above the brake lever. The other is a gray quick connect that is connected to the side kin of toward the center of the car.

El_Cangri · May 17th, 2007, 11:23 PM

yeah thats putting me to think what that cable migth b 4?

well that's weird if your car has been running (or I guess braking) totally fine. But with a wire being disconnected, which would generally be perceived as a bad thing, you'd expect SOMETHING to go wrong at some point...

El_Cangri · May 17th, 2007, 11:33 PM

idk man do u have cruise control or something that the cable could be powering, i dont have cruise control so the ones that said to have it connnected do u have cruise control? mine been braking fine but It puts me to think.... and i'm pretty confuse may one cable be for the front brakes and the other for the rear one??.. damn that is stupid........ well rigth now i'm like

and idk if to connect the cable or not

GreenFaleen · May 18th, 2007, 10:34 AM

i would connect it if there is a place anything loose near your brake is bad, probably a dummy wire for abs or cruise or something.

its your wiring harness for your break light switch im surprised to local dough nut patrol hasnt given you any trouble.

El_Cangri · May 18th, 2007, 06:34 PM

I remember one time like 5 year ago my uncle in his 1992 240 sx ran from a cop.... my uncle didnt want to pay a ticket for speeding so my uncle continued and later the cop was behind us like 3 minute later the cop was lost or didnt wanted to continue... I learned a very important lesson... MY UNCLE IS CRAZY!!
