I have a 92 Si and I noticed a strange orange connector on the side of the driver side shock tower (below, by the alternator). The green and the orange wire coming from it are cut.. I am wondering what it is and why someone cut it? It is a part of the car harness, not the engine harness. I have a 92 so there shouldn't be ABS.. unless it is not the original body harness?

 

Any one have an idea?

 

ABS or PS iirc when i looked at my Si hatch thinking same thing

 

I can't confirm, but because it's orange, i think it has to do with the SRS system. More than likely, an interconnect for one of the impact sensors to the front of the car for frontal collisions

 

92's aren't supposed to have ABS though. And I don't have any other orange connectors anywhere on my harness. I'm more concerned with why someone would cut the wires. My PS works fine..

 

i am almost srue when i help buddy do a ABS delete on db8 he had orange connectors in it

idk tho ^ deetz may be right i thought all SRS connectors were yellow tho

 

Hmm.. the SRS thing sounds more like it, even though I also though they were all yellow connectors. I know ABS is orange but 92's don't have ABS, and wouldn't I have more orange connectors throughout my harness if I had a 94-95 harness?

If its SRS, I wonder why the wires would be cut. I took out my SRS when I changed the steering wheel recently, and it was in tact so I doubt there was ever a collision with the car.

 

hold on a min i have a 94 Si hatch STOCK with OEM harness un cut everthing pluged in and working let me run and check mine

mine is non ABS btw and looked up VIN at honda and did not come with ABS from factory

 

has to be ABS in all SI harness mine is there and does not have a male plug end pluged into it

 

Ah, ok. So even the non ABS cars had that plug so you can hook up ABS if you wanted to get it?

Then there is no reason for those 2 wires to be cut on mine.. wtf.. stupid previous owner.

 

Orange=ABS, Yellow=SRS Green=Cruise Control

 

So do you think this orange connector should be on 92 civics even though there was no ABS offered?

 

ABS was offered in some non-US models in '92, particularly the JDM models. I wouldn't be surprised if it was offered in CDM or EDM models, some of which are LHD models. They probably just used the same harness, which had the ABS connector on it.

fm

 

yes prob made the same harness from 92-95 Si or all eg harness i have not looked at a non Si to close

 

Oh, okay.

But does any one have any idea why the wires around it would be cut? (it was obviously done by the previous owner)

 

Can anyone give me some more info on this please? This thing is really annoying me because it looks like a previous owner spliced this connector in maybe, since the wires are revealed and now cut. But what the hell could have been there?

 

My friends 92 Si does NOT have anything like this connector on her harness, it's a Canadian model.

Mine is a USDM model though

 

It's ABS. I have a ej1 and all my abs connectors are orange just like that. SRS connectors are yellow I believe.

 

Ok, if its ABS why do I only have that one connector? I thought ABS has multiple orange connectors, including some on the passenger side? I've seen 94-95s with a bunch of orange connectors but this is a 92 without ABS

 

The ones on the pass side connect to the abs pump looks like mine that's it's own harness. Then the orange connector you have is part of the chassis harness.

 

Right, I said this is the car/body/chassis harness original on my 92 Si. Not the engine harness.

 

Ok I'm lost. Your trying to find out if that's for ABS and the original chassis harness right? Where they cut the wires @ that's where that connector is part of the chassis harness and branches off to that connector if that makes any sense.

 

Well I am pretty sure it is the original chassis harness. According to other people, my 92 shouldn't have any ABS plugs. I have this one, but it looks weird. I am not sure if someone spliced it in and why would they have done that? There is nothing plugged into the connector, and the 2 wires are cut.

I can't really understand what your saying, haha

 

And if all EG chassis harnesses have this plug for ABS even when they don't have ABS, then why would mine be cut? It just makes no sense to me and I am trying to figure out the exact situation, so I don't really have a specific question to ask

 

I'm positive that's a ABS plug. Lol, let me take a pic of mine and show you how it's connected to the chassis harness and where they cut it at.
