84 Targa unknown wire
So I just got a 84 Targa off BAT
The radio had been upgraded and then torn out by the PO before I got the car. Lots of wires that connected to nothing along with a 12V line that simply cut off at the end and sparked when I moved it out of the way. Its a rats nest of wires that needs to be cleaned out. Have learned lots about taking out the center console and door cards already. Also found an old radar receiver under the center console that was still there with the wires cut out. So I'm going through the car as well as I can to clean up all the wires I can find I found a yellow wire under the dash on the Passenger side right in front of the door jam. It had been cut. but I dont know what the other end goes to. Does anyone have any idea what this wire is for? Anyone know where that hole leads to Thanks

Good golly = you joined in 2010 and this is your second post?!
I have been dealing with some electrical gremlins, and I’ve dug into that area (believed to be the RH side of your car, just below the HVAC line). Anyhow, I just took a look to verify - the yellow line in my car (with a poorly installed POS aftermarket radio) has a fuse on it. Regarding the hole it appears to go into (perhaps the fire wall) - I do not know exactly where this goes. Here is what I CAN say — that yellow line (on my car) has nothing to do with the antenna.

While you are poking around under there, this is a good time to fuse the circuits that don't have one. Like the instrument lights.
See this recent thread, in Post #20 I posted some links to additional threads with instructions. New 911SC owner - smoke in the interior! Mark

thanks for the info guys
Yeah , its been a while. I bought a 2006 911S a while back, sold it after a few years, work got in the way. Recently got the bug again and got this 84 Targa after the wife pushed me to bid on it. I've spent the last few days hunting wires and fixing mistakes made by the previous folks that installed and ripped out stuff.
