Default Wire Mod Issue 2002 firehawk

Ok so I guess I am an idiot or have something no one else has.... I am trying to do the wire mod and I have 2 wires and a cable I think that does not disconnect. I have traced the green and orange twisted wire and it goes all the way around front to the drivers side and then I lose it. Please see pics. Car is a 2002 Firehawk 6speed






In red is the cable and twisted wire I am talking about.



in red is the cable, it goes under the car.





Thanks

I haven't seen those first 2. The last one looks like it could be the abs wires that go to the hub and you can just unplug it run it through the hole you make and plug it back in

Just take off your tire and you'll see where it plugs into the back of the hub. Just unplug it and reroute it

and then reroute

Looks good dude. Make sure those wires are protected where you cut that hole at. I didn't protect mine and after awhile the sharp metal carved it's way through the wire loom and touched the wires. I started my car and the starter kept turning the engine over even when it was running. Turned the car off and it still kept doing it. I freaked out and just unplugged the battery. It blew some fuses then wouldn't start. I learned the hard way about making sure those wires are protected.

Is this mod of any benefit for keeping the wires dry as well as simply looking better (and that does look a whole lot better ) , just wondering if mine get wet sometimes where they are?

I would think so, I wrapped mine in plastic wrap and then electric tape. They are also tucked up perfect behind the shroud.
