Wire Without A Home

[grey pearl]

Hi there,I took off my passenger door trim a while ago on my GTR33 and fitted new speakers ,while I was there I found a black wire connected to the door panel at one end only that could go anywhere within an 8" radius but could not find where it was once connected any ideas,I posted in the audio section and got no replies so thought I would try here,I reckon it was broken off during compliancing but not sure.Cheers Grey Pearl.

Hi,

A black wire connected to the door panel?...

Well, I think it may have been a grounding wire for a previous application.

Do you have all wires connected to your speaker in the door? (all 2 )

If it is bolted to the door, most likely is a grounding wire. I have no idea what it may be for, but only what my have been. - Unless there is something still inside the door that may need it.

You will see similar examples in the engine bay, with grounding wires bolted to chassis panels. etc. - Come to think of it, I think I have similar circumstances with one just dangeling around under the bonnet.

Good luck.

Thanks for your reply KI Spirit,yes I think you are right,it looks like an earth to me too ,possibly for the electric window/doors,I guess I will just connect it up to the door card,can't think of any where else it could go,btw I would find a home for that earth wire in your engine bay as they are important from what I've read.Cheers Grey Pearl.
