Black wire connected to IGN wire
Unknown wire tapped into pink wire Ok here goes. I have noticed a black wire that is spliced into a pink wire under my fuse box in the engine compartment. It's the fuse box with the AC comp, fuel pump, IGN, etc. I can't find where the black wire goes to once it crosses into the firewall, but I've looked under the dash and behind the radio and no go. So, I decided to see what happened when I disconnected the mysterious wire and found out that the car turns over, but won't start. If you disconnect the wire while the engine is running, it immediately shuts off. With the wire disconnected, everything still works like the radio and dash lights and windows, etc. you just can't get the motor to "fire". Could this be the old remains of an after-market remote starter?
Any ideas on what this could be, why it is there, and should I just leave it there? BTW this is Dustin's brother and a 2002 Trans Am not his 99 camaro.
THANKS
UPDATE: A shop here in town said there were some problems with the computers in 02 not having enough power or grounding out or something and that this is probably why that wire is there... any takers??
