Mystery Wire, Help Please!

[FT9]

hey everyone. I found this wire dangling from under the dash and have yet to figure out where it comes from. Does anyone know what this wire connects to and where the other end might be?

If anything, I drive an R32 GTS-T, '93 model. more info can be supplied if needed, just not sure what will come in handy. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Just because a piece of loom exists doesn't mean it has to be connected to anything. Many models might share the same loom segment, but only some actually connect something to every plug in the loom.

Looks after market.

One of the wires has an inline fuse in it...

Trace the other two wires, see where they lead. I'm wondering if they go upto the ignition (one is likely an earth)

I'm thinking it might be a turbo timer loom...

nah the timer plugs are usually 3 pin. that could be literally anything. chase it back to the source and remove it.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll try and trace it back and see where it comes from. Could it be anything related to the dash, such as the clock or even the tacho? Reason i ask is that ever since discovering this wire, the clock resets itself to 1:00 every time i start the car. The tacho also doesn't function anymore... One more thing, although the car is a GTS-T, it's been transplanted with an 25DE engine. Hopefully this extra info comes in handy to someone

is it causing your car any damage? is the car running weird? if not, dont worry about it.

Car runs fine from what I can tell, nothing seems out of place. It's just the paranoia that it 'could' be something bad, hence why I want to see where this leads to.

That was my first impression. But you can't purchase wire with those tracer patterns in them - they are factory.

If the clock resets, then check the fuse hasn't blown.

You can buy that wire with tracers, deff aftermarket no wiring in my 32 is that colour/tracer or with an inline fuse.

isnt that a 3 pin in the pic? maybe just a different style to the norm, migth be from a old skool timer?

EDIT: Different plug, looked a bit like the one I had which I could never find out what it did, as per this thread
