Hey what's up guys. I decided to take the headlights off to get the crud out of them, and restore them. I couldn't get the front bumper on before I had to pick my girl up from work. I thought I secured all the wires good enough for the short trip, but apparently I didn't. The fog light/temp sensor wire got caught under the passenger tire and ripped it clean off. I got lucky that i didn't crush the light socket or temp sensor. The wire that got ripped off is about 3 1/2ft. long. I can't find where it ripped off for the life of me. Just curious if anyone has pics of where that wire runs from the factory? Would like pics if possible starting from the passenger fog light back towards SAM unit, or atleast 4ft. back from the passenger fog light. If anyone has those pics I'm sure I can figure out where it ripped off from. Thanks!

If I am not mistaken it goes up after the crash bar . If you have the front bumper off you should be able to see it .

Just looked all around the crash bar, and couldn't find where it ripped off from anywhere.

Just said screw it and started unraveling the black tape where all the wires meet above the passenger wheel well, and found where it tore off. Should be an easy fix gladly!

It should be running with the fog light wiring . unravel the black tape on the fog light wiring and see what you get .open the hood and look at the passenger side . Running along side the fender is wiring that runs to the the front down between the wheels well and headlights. .
