Disconnected ground?

Post by BSOD2600 »

Was looking over the engine today and noticed there is a connector between the PS tank and alternator, which isn't connected to anything. Both ends of its leads just go to screws, so I assume its just for grounding. Not needed to be connected?

Geez, I forgot what that was for. Does it have something to do with the air shock option? Not sure.

Both ends go to what appear to be screws; one under the PS tank and the other somewhere else on the engine.

No Chris, it doesn't connect to anything...

That power steering pump is off of a car with a variable ratio setup, and that is what the plug is for...

So don't worry about it

Wow, just curious, Nick, how do you know that? ^^^ Was it your car before or are you just familiar with different power steering setups?

He swapped pumps for me during the 5MT install :).
