96 Tracker-HELP!

fhantazm · 05-11-2008, 02:56 PM

Hello,
I am currently finishing up a head gasket on a 96 tracker, 1.6 SOHC 16v and have a couple of wires that look like they may have pulled out of a plug and need help finding their home. I have taken a couple pictures. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it MUCH! Let me know if you need more info or pictures, as I realize these arent the greatest shots. Thanks!

I just popped the hood on my 96 and looked, can't find anything like that. What direction does the other end of the wires head off to? Tracka96

They come from the same bundle that connects to the distributor and also through the firewall and into the cab.

Well, I looked again with no luck, maybe your car has something that mine doesn't. (16V with 3spd auto and AC.) I did see a female double plug with no wires going into it near the right headlightwires, don't know what it was for. Let us know when you find out where they go, Tracka 96

Are wire colors orange or yellow and red? Is there any band on either?

Orange and red and there is a blue tracer on the red wire. Thanks!

Solid orange is uncommon. Only one I see on the schematic runs from the ECM to the igniter module which is nowhere near location depicted in photo. Was harness somehow misrouted during cylinder head repair? Even if it was, there is no red/blue wire associated w/ this module so that's probably not the orange wire w/ your issue. Beats me.
