I smelled an electrical burning smell the other day and i looked under my car and there was a harness hanging down where the tranny crossmember is not plugged into anything...so i got underneath and there are 3 of them all coming from a small hole in the floorpan right above the tranny crossmember. It looked like the other 2 were going into the tranny, one on the side and the other on top. The harness hanging down was touching the cat and burning..so i guess thats what i smelled..but anyway anyone know what these harnesses are especially the one hanging down? thanks!

what trans do you have?

if your back up lights work and cruise stuff all works, i might guess it is for the neutral safety switch (for a slushbox). i dont think they are used or connected on a 5 spd.

good luck.
 
the neutral safety switch is for automatics (so you cant start it in drive, etc). it is not used on sticks, but is wired in from the factory.

if you can tell us the colors of the wires, that would help. good luck.
