Re: [T3] Red Wire

["Gary Gamboa" <gary_gamboa@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>I looked around and could not find an open single connector for the red 
wire.

There is a red wire coming from a harness with a single connection attached 
to a black wire coming from a two terminal block jusr left of the throttle. 
There is 003 927 211 on the bottom of it. A black wire from the firewall 
clips onto this block.

Could this be a mis-connection. Should a black wire be connected to red one?


Thank you,

Gary Gamboa
