Loose wire help
« on: September 23, 2013, 09:17:33 am »
Couple days ago i found this wire had come out of its holding and was catching on the radiator fans. Very nearly ripping through this wire.

I have now secured it with zip ties. Is it safe to have zip ties there? I'm guessing it gets hot there?

Anyways, Does anyone know what that wire is for?



I might change the plastic ties with metal 1's as i'm not 100% confident.

Thanks,
Sean

Looks like some sort of sensor.

It's the wire that is sitting in the silver metal. The long piece running horizontal.

If you zoom in you can see its chopped away at the wire.
