V2 Help Please!!! ASAP!!

digi · 12-19-2007, 12:10 AM

Ok, almost done with the install. Last step buttoning things up...when I notice this: a loose wire with no terminal at the end, coming out of the black procede connector. It seems to be coming out from slot 6 of the procede's grey subconnector, where two black wires are coming from.Now, with the v1 reinstall yesterday and the v2 install today, the ridiculous slew of wires one has to manage can get a bit confusing. And frankly I have no idea if it was there or not to begin with.

I don't think I've noticed a "blank" wire just judding out that doesn't seem to have a purpose. I'm thinking while I was in a sea of wires at one point, I might of disconnected it from somewhere? My initial guess was that it belonged in the serial port from the procede. Upon further inspection, I opened the serial port up, and there is no sign of "solder residue" evidencing a pulled wire. Plus the other three wires in it all have silver wire threads. This one has copper, like the loom connections. Ugh, everything worked to a tee until this point. Any ideas if this was already there or not? Its 1:10am on the east coast and I have work tomorrow! Please help! Shiv? Eugene? Anyone????

It looks like the top of that wire is stripped of it's "clip" no

NPDAN · 12-19-2007, 01:01 AM

I remember when I did my install I had a black wire floating till the end. It turns up I missed one on one. Double check to make sure you dont have any other loose ends coming out of the procede harness or the one of the sub connectors.

stillclaimndp · 12-19-2007, 01:06 AM

looks like the ground wire if it is pin 6 on the grey...

I checked and nothing seems to be out of order. Its not coming from the v2 harness and everything on the v1 seems fine.

stillclaimndp · 12-19-2007, 01:12 AM

yeah so one of those black wires goes to ground on the black harness, one goes to the serial connector

stillclaimndp · 12-19-2007, 01:13 AM

that loose one looks like its the one that goes to the black procede harness then to the ground, at least on my early model v2 harness....

My ground wire is still in tact. I believe that was just one red wire. But it is pin 6 from the black procede sub connector.

hey dude (stillclaimdp), you're a cool guy!

stillclaimndp · 12-19-2007, 01:15 AM

to clarify further, that is harness wire 6 grey, it goes to black harness 7, then to ground, yay
