disconnected cable at battery +
Hi,
there is a loose connection that has been disconnected from the positive pole of my battery. It has a little ring on it to coonect to the plus terminal but it is taped off. About 15 cm furter on the cable is a fuse.
Can anyone tell me what that cable is for and what the reason could be that the previous owner disconnected it?
see photo attached
thanks

if i push the onstar button the lady starts talking enthusiastically.
I live in Portugal so onstar is useless to me. ( at some stage i plan to install the blue star module so i can use it for hands free bluetooth)
could it be something to do with the alarm?

The fact that it's an external fuse (not in the fuse box), and tie strapped to the main battery cable, would make me think that it was an 'add on' that powered an aftermarket accessory. Possibly the original owner had a light bar, amplifier, or some other accessory that he decided to keep when he sold the truck? I guess you could always back track the wire and see if it's still connected to something, or just terminates. If it just terminates, the location where it ends may give you a clue as to what it powered.

i have connected the cable today....unfortunately no discoball or other exciting gadget, but only the aftermarket viper alarm.
i found a remote fob in the door and all works fine, nothing blew up (yet)
does anyone have some info on programming the four button remote?
it does everything except locking the doors remotely, which would be handy to have.

Kool, so it was for an alarm. Wonder why they disconnected it?
You should be able to go to a Viper Alarm dealer and they will reprogram it for you or do a search for Viper Alarm fob program ans see what pops up.
