Hey everybody, I have a 98 3.0, my second vehicle and I'm a newbie
Long story short it's a family van that went neglected. As I've gone over it I noticed an unplugged wire in the engine bay hanging loose. Does anyone know where it goes, what it does?

Thanks for your help in advance, I hope my pictures are clear

unplugged wired. goes where?


connected to a cluster right down there


right side air intake. battery to the right, brake fluid resevoir upper right


engine

 

Does everything work as it should?

 

for the most part, yes everything works fine

 

Then I wouldn’t worry about it. Probably for some factory option yours is not equipped with.

 

Looks like it could possibly be the plug that would normally go to the cruise control. But I do not see any other cruise control components in your pictures.

Pictures are a little too zoomed in to get a good general idea of where this wire is exactly. Back up and point to it.
Also,was the vehicle once equipped with cruise control ?

 

I think the plug goes to some piece on the egr system, and if so reconnecting it should help fuel economy a little. I don't know much about vehicles and only vaugrely remembered the red safety clip on there from my own encounter of nesecity.


Sorry for the crappy highlight, had to d it from the cell
