You need to provide more information for anyone to help you. Where in the engine bay is this taken? Can you trace where the other ends go? It looks like it could be after market to me, in which case it could be anything.

Because its black at first look it would be grounded. Back up and take another picture. Does that red cable go to the battery or alt+ ? Do you have a volt meter?

With the volt meter set to OHM measure the impedance of that cable to ground. With the motor running measure the VOLTAGE to ground. That should determine where the cable attaches.

Default same question

I am actually looking to see where this wire connects. Is it on the alt post with the red wire direct from batt?...or somewhere else. If possible please post what you found and where it should go. Pic would be appreciated. Thanks.

on the 97 that i had it looks like the power wire for the internal power for the inside and it went on the positive lug on the alternator with the red - if your missing power inside [ won't turn over ect. ] it goes there
