Interior light mod wiring trouble
I went to do the interior light cutoff switch today. Instead of clipping the white w/purple stripe, I cut the Purple w/white stripe. I used one of those cheesy electrical connectors to put it back together, and I'm pretty sure I had enough slack that the wires connect, but I'm going to go back in there and fix it for sure. Until I get a chance though, what does this particular wire do? It's located in the rear driver side pillar panel, in the bundle with the White/purple stripe wire.
Am I in any imminent danger?
Thanks for helping.

XXL,
You didnt' cut the Purple w/ white strip did you?
Absolutely under no circumstance ever cut that wire, I heard about a guy once who cut that wire and you won't believe what happened to him.
My wife says I have to clean the kitchen, so I can't talk now.

Was that the guy who's truck spontaneously combusted? I heard the wire somehow links to the driver's heated seat. That guy still can't pee without assistance.

We regret to inform you that the Expedition forum Moderator, BigMattXXL, spontaneously combusted. Police have ruled out homicide after finding that Mr. XXL cut the purple wire with the white stripe in his 1999 Ford Expedition. Mr. XXL is survived by his girlfriend and a cadre of footsoldiers that claim alleged membership to a group known as "FTE". Police are unsure at this time whether the cutting of the wire was part of a bizarre erotic ritual, or if Mr. XXL simply failed to memorize the proper directions. More at 11.
Wow. I put the key in the ignition and I was like
. That'll learn me - never mess with the purple wires!!!!
I'll fix it tomorrow, before my truck explodes.

Can somebody tell me what wire to cut to create a spontanious combustion in the passenger seat??? I figure, if she goes first I might have time to make it out and claim the insurance on her and the truck too!
