Looks like vacum line for shift-on-the-fly four wheel drive. That is my guess.

It a 06' diesel 4wd. No engine lights on, everything seems ok?
it must have to go to somewhere close as its pulled through tight to get to this position?

if you don't have climate control, there is a vacuum line that just plugs in to the front face on the heater box (there is a plastic tit sticking out of the front of the box) hope that helps.

no, climate control is that you can set the tempature by a number and it is all push buttons, manual heater/ac is having 3 dials, 1 for hot and cold, 1 for the fan and 1 for the location you want the air to come from.

Oh ok. The way it was pulled through between the plastic of the wheel well and the metal frame had to have been done by hand and as it didnt seem to be able to reach to anything that I could see I was hoping it was useless.
Thanks

Of course it is not a spark plug wire. Sorry man, not to be a jerk and call you out here, but my biggest peeve is when somebody comes on here with a legitimate question/problem and somebody else thinks they will be smart and post up some mis-information. Just joking around can cause an uninformed member to waste a lot of time.


OP, that harness is the line that supplies power to the time circuits. It feeds electricity from the wheels to the circuits to energize the entire system leading from the front of the vehicle to the flux capacitor, which as we all know, is what makes time travel possible. Plug it back into the time circuits and post up pictures yesterday afternoon when you get it fixed.

That line doesn't look big enough to handle the 1.21 gigawatts necessary for time travel.
