What are these wires for!

[Waydin_Stewart]

I rolled my dash out and this are the wires that I find. Please someone tell me where they go or what they do. I cannot figure out how to pull the entire dash out so I am going to just try to cut the. Back to fresh and see where I can put them. From what I can tell all the wires on the box to the left in the picture are accounted for. But there is like 6 wires melted together that I don’t know what they are or where they go. I now have no idea how to add a picture

Look at the bottom of the reply box. On the left you can choose a picture from computer or another device like SD card or camera connected to your computer just click on the choose files. On the right you can post pictures from previous attachments or URL. Click the insert other media for that. There are other ways but I dont know them. 

A picture is going to help alot. There is a lot of wire under the dash.

I was going to look on the phone since I use a laptop or tablet mostly. Got a new phone and cant remember my password to sign in on the new phone. Hopfully someone will see this and help.

No sir. I will try to look up a picture online to add to the post

Okay so In this listing on the first picture. If you locate the Obd plug in the middle of the picture and look directly next to it, there is a green plug. From what I can tell looking at that picture and comparing the best I can to my truck. Those are the wire that are melted. BUT. I counted the wires going to the plug. There is 11 wires. Only 2 of the wires going into that plug are melted(not all the way through) there is 3-4 more wires that are completely melted together and end. With no sign of where they are supposed to go to. I cut the wire back to solid coating and spread them all apart for now just in case they are a hazard. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203045872265

I thought that green plug was windshield wipers or the BCM, maybe radio?

 

The dash isn't that hard to get out, an extra set of hands helps. It is cumbersome. It is a lot harder with the seats in the truck.

The wi shield wipers work perfect and I can tell where anything on the body side of things don’t work. Unless those wire can have something to do with the speakers? Cause they kinda go in a out whenever they want.

Looking at this, it looks like the central timer module.

Have you tried "cock-a-doodle-do" or "Chick-fil-a".

Uneducated question, what exactly is the timer module for. And as I said before there is 11 wires going to the plug but there is 3-4 other wires coming out of the loom the same direction that are melted together.

To my knowledge all of this works correct besides the speakers. They go in and out at random times. But these wires aren’t connected to anything. I just have the call flat cut so the bare wire isn’t touching anymore and the speakers work but will go quiet. Then maybe left side, then back, then right, then front, then none. Kinda sparatic

Those might not be the only partially melted wires in the harness. Speakers could be bad wires, connections, or head unit. In this case wires or connection make more sense.

Oh boy....so I just replaced the whole engine harness and pcm harness. So I should be looking into a new dash harness aswell. Only way I could confirm the bad wire or connection theory is to pull the entire dash out.
