??Factory Cut Wires??

Greetings,

I have a 2005 F350 (made 10-04) XLT PSSD. Under the hood near the firewall between the mastercylinder and the drivers fender are four wires. Red, Blue, Black and White. They have been cut from something and left hanging. A co-worker has a 2003 F250 XLT PSSD and he has the same wires hanging. My truck was bought used, but Jason's was bought new. Anyone have an idea what these went to? It doesn't seem to affect anything. I am just curious.

Thanks

That's right. Just pass through wires put there to use for any accessories that might be added.

Correct, they are just extra wires passed through the firewall for when you add accessories.

Thanks,

I appreciate the quick response.

BTW,
I have posted a question in the thread by kimryward. Concerning the engine dying suddenly when i put the truck in gear or step hard on the brake to stop. It will restart with no trouble. The sysmptoms that kimryward described are mine almost to a T. Does anyone have any ideas on this.

try this and see if you get lucky.
disconnect the ebp sensor.
if that has no change disconnect the icp sensor.
if the issue goes away you will need to replace the sensor.
