What is this for?

There is a wire that plugs into the top of my 10.25" axle. It is at the top toward the front of the pumpkin.What is it for? It looks factory installed.

Wire or tube? There is a tube that goes into the axle housing that is a breather.

What vehicle?

if it is a rubber tube it is a vent

metal tube it is a brake lines

if it is a bunch of wires it is your VSS....which basically it tells your tranny when to shift and ialso controls your speedo. VSS stands for vehicle speed sensor

I'd say either VSS or ABS.

I had two wires running around back there. Ended up being my ABS wires. Lucky me..since those same wires I somehow snapped in the process of doing a burnout on 4th of July (Only one I've ever done...) so..

I don't know that my wires went to the pumpkin though. Didn't pay attention to where they were gong to back there..just how I could tuck them out of the way.
