Help, can someone look and see if these white and brown wires go into there fuse box

So I am finally pulling the old remote start, which doesn’t work and something is draining my battery so I figured this would be the place to start. I’ve managed to trace all the wires back to where they were cut except these two.

My thought is maybe it was pulled from the fuse box as I can’t seem to find a white and brown wire anywhere to match it. I also don’t fully understand where it goes so it’s making it hard to google. I figure I would ask here before I remove my whole dash just for two wires.

 

Not a lot of info to go on here but I would bet they don't go to the fuse panel. Most often bundles of wires in a loom tie in to the panel not 2 lone wires in a plastic sleeve. There are many little sensors and relays and so on tucked under the dash of these trucks. I would be looking for that maybe has a connector but no wires leading to it.

 

That does not look like a factory wire to me. Look on the engine bay side of the firewall to see where it goes.

 

What year is the truck?

 

Profile says 00 I believe.

 

I agree with FordTruckNoob...that does not look stock. I don't remember anything OEM running across/over the steering column.

Every time I wired something around there I always gave the column a wide berth to make sure nothing would get caught/chafe from turning the wheel.

I did not have a remote start but I did remove my "factory" (dealer-installed) anti-theft system and a lot of the wires were up under the dash in that general area.

It would probably be quicker to take the dahs piece off and trace the wires than to do more Google-ing or wait for someone that has an actual answer. The instrument cluster is not attached to the dash trim so makes the task a lot easier:


He does not show how to remove the radio but if you have an OEM one you can buy the "special tool" on Amazon for about $6 (search for Ford Radio Removal Tool).
