Drivers Side wire Harnes?
Hey Guys,
Before I go stripping wire loom to find the reason for this bare wire I just came across I though I would ask the question, should the be a bare wire in the harness on the drivers side going to the UVCH?

It's possibly the ground for the injector wiring shield. Check to see if it has continuity to ground.

Thanks Pikachu,
I'll do that. I had to run out after posting the pic. I had thought it might be a ground but thought it was odd the way it looped around.

Quick check showed an open loop.

I don't recall seeing any wires without a sheath. The only scenarios I can think of for a stripped wire are factory, intentionally stripped, or cooked off with current.
