The other day travelling on highway 60 heading west at the speed of 80 mph, i could not avoid running over the rubber leftovers from the tires of 18 wheelers. so i did the best i could just drive over the rubber without them hitting my tires to decrease the chance of an accident.

anyways, afterwards, i inspected my undercarriage to make sure nothing is leaking or what have you. well, i noticed this wire (still attached on both ends to the car) hanging. this wire can be seen from the passenger side. it appears to be right below the passenger seat, slightly towards the middle. both ends are attached to the car. it streches about 3 feet.

the wires has a plastic tubing around it to protect it. well, is this normal? it does not seem very safe that this thing is just hanging like that. it seems that it could easily be snagged by something and break off.

what should i do? what is this wire?

i know this may be confusing. when i get a chance. i will take a picture.

thanks for the help.

 

Hmm you should take it to a mechanic asap. Luxury Motorworks in Monrovia can look it up for you.

 

okay, thanks flip. yeah, i guess the best thing to do is taking the car in. the closest dealership to me is in riverside, 15 miles away. i am going to try there first. i don't want to drive too far with this condition.

 

Sounds good keep us updated.

 

The only wire that I can possibly think of that is under the passenger side seat is the wire that is hooked up to the O2 sensors on the Y-pipe. Have you inspect the O2 sensor to make sure the connector is still attached to it?
