Default Potential Short

Hey there,

I was under the car today checking the condition of my transmission fluid and its level and while i was down there i saw that the wires on the passenger side of the transmission were somehow ground back to bare wires. So i wrapped electrical tape around the wires individually then together... should sort it out...

What i would like to know is what these wires were for, it was the pair of wires that run to the 2 pin plug which is from memory the rear most plug on the box and goes to the same place as the 4 plug connector.

What would be the affects of these wires shorting out? Not that i noticed any change in the way the gearbox performed while driving... more of a curiosity thing

Cheers,
Simon.

Well, according to the attached, it could be the Transmission range sensor:

Hey cheers JC,

Probably not the coolest wires to have potentially touching each other, any idea of what no resistance eqautes to?

Cheers again,
Simon.

Nah, no idea at all. But if you've experienced no issues, then I'd say it does not much.
