Default Driver side wire tuck gone bad.

I got a little ahead of myself yesterday while doing my wire tuck and clipped a wire I dont think i was supposed to. I pulled the cluster of wires through the firewall on the driver side and this wire cut on both ends (dark green with black stripe 18 ga) just fell, and i dont know where it goes to. Ive tried searching for a wiring diagram but havent had any luck, or if some one could save me the time and just tell me what it goes to and i think i can handle it from there.

You kinda screwed yourself. The green/black wires is a very common grounding wire withing the harness. Your best bet is to just look n see which other wires are cut. I have completely gutted an entire car harness and recall seeing 8+ green/black wires.

Yeah, there is a few of those in there. Keep in mind that that may still have distinct banding, I do not remember it at this moment, and it is too cold to go out to check, but don't they have either single or double silver bands do differentiate between them? Anyway your best bet is checking for continuity and non functioning things (after you put them together). From my notes, I would suggest you check your wiper washer motors wires, mine (rear wiper) has blk/grn, which is different from grn/blk that belongs to front wiper washer motor.
It doesn't make it any easier, does it? Sorry.

One is the wire(s) the ECU uses to control the fuel pump relay in the nain relay module. Two ECU output pins are spliced together to activate the fuel pump relay when they are pulled low.

Another one supplies power to the front & rear wiper motors & wiper switches. It also supplies power to the rear window washer.

Another one supplies power to the sunroof relay.

Another one carries the tailgate latch switch signal.

Another one supplies power to the backup lights from the backup switch.

pretty sure the wire you're talking about o/p goes to the wiper squirter motor... its not hard to figure out what goes where though, just look at the wires on each plug, or just wire up everything else n figure out what's not hooked up when the green/black wire is teh last one chillin
