I'm willing to bet money those wires went to those homo underdash lights.

Typical install... Gotta love dangling wires and lamp cord.

I had the interior of my car out for a week. I was very methodical in running wire, keeping everything tidy, etc.

I've seen some real hackjobs recently on the last 2 bikes I bought too. Just once I'd like to buy something and not have to tear out a bunch of crap wiring.

I'm glad it was a relatively simple fix Moira!

Sounds familiar... I'm still fixing wires in my truck... 4 years after I bought it. The stock dash speakers were wired to the left front channel of the aftermarket amp, one of the aftermarket speakers was wired to the right rear channel and the other to the right front. The aftermarket door lights and brow lights and tailgate lights all run off the dash light dimmer and keep burning out the headlight switch. The alarm wiring is truly scary, and the reason I haven't been able to fix the other lights for fear of being permanently locked out.

I was driving home from work a few weeks ago. I had my cd player pulled out and to the side and it was laying on my Pioneer XM radio adapter thingy. Well all of a sudden the cabin started filling with smoke. Damn XM adapter was shorting it's self out. Man that plastic around wire smokes like a coal burning train. Luckily I was able to pull over fast.
