What is this from? Found it yesterday while installing my back up lights. I found it under my aftermarket ignition box. Could it be from my stock ignition?

Two pin?

its for the under hood light lamp, i tucked mine away when i pulled the lamp out since it would half way work most of the time like it had a short

What are those other wires you have there? The clear speaker wire looking ones?

Wires to burn the truck to the ground when they short out?

Cool! I think I just found my next mod!

That's what we need. ANOTHER bad news thread with pics of a truck burnt to a crisp!

Never knew these trucks had engine compartment lights? Mine don't. Best to ask the dealership about those wires

 

[dkjones96]

Yup, mine has it but it's mostly useless. I'm gonna get some of those 18" cold cathode tubes for computers that run on 12v and wire them in so I can have a useful amount of light under there.

The clear wire is for my bed lights and the speaker wire is for my back up lights. I was moving those around while doing my back up lights. They're tucked away nice now. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Speaker wire to run lights = bonfire.......

I think mine has that plug, and I dont have an underhood light. Its a stock 4.7 so no ignition box, was always curious what that plug was.

On a side note, 12v lights with high wattage pull alot of amps and 16 guage speaker wire isnt a great idea. I even had the fuse holder that comes with hella lights burn up on me.

:waiting:

Wonder if he at least used a relay.:huh:

 

[domay11]

Poop.

 

[Adobedude]

Pull it out and run automotive wire, and run it in a loom, but don't use the crap fom lowes or Home Depot...If it's under the hood, it has to be rated for such.

Better safe than sorry.

 

[domay11]

I know, I'll have to do that someday. Where do I get it then?

 

[caulk04]

www.autolumination.com sells rolls of good wire. I'd get at least 14ga, 12ga would be good for a long run back to the rear of the truck.

 

[domay11]

Okay, I'm going to have a long day of wiring someday.
