which wire is it exactly connected to? I see three... that's interesting to say the least. I was gonna suggest something with a stereo, but you said it goes back under fuse box, so yeah

i'm not sure which one, its possible its all 3. I'll pull the tape off and check tomorrow, its not the stereo, i did all the amp wiring myself.

odd. It looks like its bypassing the origional fuse that should be there there. I think and i'll check in the moring that were it starts as one is a main power line thats supposed to feed that part of the fuse block. There should be two fuses in the very front part were hte wire starts. Ones there the other isn't. Maybe someone broke it a while back and they did that to bypass/fix what they broke. imo

I love my car...
I love Horsepower...
I love reliability...
So why do i own a DSM again?

that definitely sounds tenable. Hopefully tomorrow i can find a way to get rid of it, or at least hide it better.

I agree with Warmage. I looked on mine, under where that spot where they have the wire on the ring connector before the fuse there should be another one which is original then there is is one that looks exactly the same on the other side. (where it passes through each side of the fuse that should be there). It is the positive from the battery like warmage said also. I think they probably either 1.)Broke the piece that keeks the fuse in, 2.)Couldn't find that type of fuse and just bought a tube type fuse and bought the 3 dollar in line holder or 3.) Didn't want to pay that much for a fuse. I'm not sure how much that fuse costs or the name for that type but i know that some of those larger main fuses can be expensive. My friend said he bought one of the main fuses for his f150 and it was almost 60 bucks for one fuse.

Thanks for the help guys, i decided to lengthen the wire and tuck it away until i can figure out the price for a fuse. 12 hour shifts suck ha ha
