    So the guy that owned the car before decided to cut the front passenger side wheel bearing hub wire. I replaced the Wheel bearing with Timkens ... the driver side is hooked up. but i am not sure where the wire is or leads up to or even starts on the passenger side. If anyone can help me find a diagram or lead me to where this other wire is that would be great. Even better yet I will need the connector. I can get one from the junkyard to but still need to know where it starts.

    Should just run along the control arm and towards the front of the car where it joins the other harness.

    the pass side hubs harness crosses the lca, then up to the plastic shield through a slot in it in, on the other side by the harmonic balancer is where its plug should be. right where the main harness is that leads into the cars cab.

    you can buy that hub to main harness, harness if you dont see it there.

    chances are it got torn off, not cut. and the po just didnt give a crap.

    If the wire got yanked off which I agree is most likely, more of it may be gone. The control arm harness does stop at a connector on the subframe, easily seen as mentioned. It goes into the harness below the radiator after the connector, so look for something hanging out there if the connector and clip are missing. You may need a replacement "pigtail" and I don't know the availability of those.

    ive only seen it on the pass side, yet to find a plug on the driver side. but you can still buy that harness and splice it in. dorman sells that part. for both sides.
