'84 Flat-Four Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 95 Legacy LS, auto trans. The wire in question is under the ignitor, is red & blue, and connected to the chassis on the DS. Seems from the way its connected to the body that it would be a ground. But for what? It may be nothing to worry about, but I was hoping somebody could shed some light on it for me... The FSM hasn't help me a bit in narrowing it down... not knowing is killing me Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Gound strap for the transmission. Should be bolted at the other end to one of the bolts on the top ridge of the trans. (IIRC the bolt one further back than the bottom of the dogbone mount.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloyale Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Not really....the trany is plenty grounded by being bolted to the engine.....but if the engine ground let go.......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Not really....the trany is plenty grounded by being bolted to the engine.....but if the engine ground let go.......? I bet if you swung that wire down toward the trany, and moved it about the length of the wire, you will be able to see where it was connected to the trany. Prolly best to reconnect it. There's electronics inside the A/T that needs a good ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'84 Flat-Four Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 This is the new-to-the-car tranny. It was swapped out. I imagine it was cut when the old one was dropped, so there's no other end for it. I'll crawl under there and see what I can do. Maybe run a whole new ground.
