You have 2 cables right?

That box behind the battery also runs to a larger box up towards the front of the drivers side under the car. this is all part of the ASR/TCS/Cruise control system. You have crusie control, thats what the cable on the left, and the other one to the right is the throttle. You'll only have the 3 cables if you have ASR/TCS and Cruise.

Yea, It looks a lot cleaner with out the three cables running every which way. I just tore all that crap out, I now only have 1 cable, straight from the pedal to the throttle body.
