Can anybody identify this?
Saturday, May 19, 2012 2:23 PM
I just picked up a new cav. It has a remote start system installed. I need to pull the motor and came across this. The wire is hooked up to a spring loaded pin that closes with the hood. Another wire is connnected to the wire near the fuel rail. Heres the pics.

Safe to disconnect. They're sensor wires, not live.

the pin is what kills the car if you remote start it with the hood up... it wont start. keeps it from accidentally starting while being worked on.

I figured thats what it was for. Funny thing is out of curiosity i hit the button and it still started with the hood up.
