Ignition ground wire ?? problem
hey guys... need some help.
There is a small black wire going to the outer edge of the ignition and it has a small black plastic retainer clip that holds it in place. It make contact with the ignition tumbler. Problem is the plastic has broken and the door chime wont stop, plus it is draining my battery somehow. I tried to glue the plastic piece to keep it in place but that is when the battery started to drain all the way down. This wire (which must be a ground wire) comes out of a small wire harness (it has a yellow outer cover) that goes through the bottom of the steering column and also runs to the cruise control in the steering wheel. It then connects under the dash with a standard male/female wire harness connector.
I am looking to replace this yellow wire harness... Does anyone know a part number?
Thanks,
Andy

Pull the wire from the barrel and insulate it so it can't touch ground anywhere and never have to hear that gawd awful door chime again.

That's what I did a LONG time ago now. One thing that was retained that I'm glad of is the door chime sounds off if you leave the headlight switch on and open the door with the key off.
