Here's a stumper...

While looking under the hood I noticed one of the red wires from the OBD connector had been cut...a nice, clean slice. Any idea why someone would do that? Also the wires to the cigarette lighter had be cut and taped. Again, what was the previous owner doing here? All comments welcome.

The wire from the connector is most likely a test lead, iirc

I bet the wire from the cigarette lighter was cut to power another device, but I can't tell you what's going on with the OBD connector.

Good thought there, Ryan, on the cig lighter. Austin, do you figure it would be okay to splice the wires back? The 'check engine' light hasn't come on at all...not even on key activation, as I believe it should. Whatcha think?

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Yeah, splice those babies back together for sure.
