Help! WTF is this?

[DaButt]

Guys, what is the little wire family sitting on top of my oil filler cap?

I've noticed it before. One of those damn wires just ends. I think this thing is melting on my engine block and causing it to stink.





Also, my windows decided to stop working this morning?? Planning on pulling out the Bentley when I get home, but anyone who's on during the day, ideas?

Thanks.

Both your windows? Fuse?

[DaButt]

Yeah both windows.

Is your blower motor working?

Is the circuit breaker in the console/dash popped up?

[DaButt]

Not sure what either of those are... embarrassed to say. Where's the blower motor?

[DaButt]

Oh, and sunroof still works, btw.

I don't know what those wires are, but I don't have any bundles like that sitting on top of my m20. I hope someone here can help you out.

1. Blank button on the dash.
2. Your blower motor is the interior fan...

cut the zip tie and trace both ends, if you have a multimeter you can test for continuity if you can find at least one end

[DaButt]

going to lunch, might grab a fuse #17 as a cheap diagnostic, don't own a multimeter.

And interior fan is working fine.

Wires could be for oil sensor at the bottom of the block. It would be just a singular wire though.

Also looks like there is an unplugged yellow connector sitting there. Looks like an ETA valve cover, so I couldn't say for sure. On my "i", the plugs that look like that go to the temperature switch, and the coolant temp sensor. Does that bundle connect to that plug?

[BoxDriver86]

On etas, there is a wire that comes from that harness and connects underneath the block somewhere (sorry it's been a while since I've checked where). I'm pretty sure that's it.

edit:
You can kind of see it in front of the valve cover in this picture:

That only one wire that passes from there is the crank sensor wire but again its only one single wire.. Those look like a bunch. You should expose those from the tape and see whats up/how many and if they connect to anything from both ends..
