1989, 4.0, auto

So Im having trouble with this wire with no apparent spot to connect to. I followed it to this connector with the red/white wire. and then from there it goes to the starter relay....I also noticed on the drivers fender well, this relay(?) with the same red and red/white wire combo. what is it? Where does the lone red wire plug in at? Couldn't find squat.

Sorry for lack of detail, electrical isn't my thing.

 

This help?

 

Thanks Cruiser, I found that pic while searching, but unfortunately all the terminals are being used and have the correct connections

 

That relays for aux fan . Might the wire be hood light ?

 

That's what I'm thinkin. My 87 Laredo has a retractable light unit under the hood and the power wire for it looks the same.

 

Something to do with the AC? Like when the compressor is energized with a relay, the cooling fan relay on the driver's side inner fender is also energized?

 

retractable light? ill have to check that out when it stops pouring rain.

 

They were options not all had them but the plugs were still there...

 

Correct.

 

Ahh, I see. learn something new everyday I suppose. That would explain why I cant find anywhere it would go....

By chance have you gentlemen seen my other thread about low idle and a fluctuating rpm while coasting? I can sure use help on that

 

Gentlemen ! who just walked in ?

 

Something I should mention is that my red wire has constant 12v and if yours does to then that is probably what it was designated for.

 

Post a link.

How many of my Tips have you done?

Ive done the ground refreshing, tps adjusting, throttle body cleaning, coil contacts, relay cleaning, vacuum leak was done by a shop as well as exhaust. ecu connector refresh. some of the others I haven't had time to get to yet...

 

I've got an idea for your red wire. If you put a piggy-back terminal on your ignition wire input on starter relay,(see cruiser's pic),you could put a push button switch between the red wire and the piggy-back terminal. This would give you a remote start switch for troubleshooting.
