found out why my horn wasnt working. someone unplugged It prior to my purchasing of the car. so plugged it in and it works now. but now im left with this plug wire and I have no idea where it goes. help? its in the same area as the horn.

 

oh and has anyones radio every done this? it still worked fine. but flashed all this weird crap.

 

The connector looks like it's to your exterior air temperature connector, hooks into the back of the driver's headlamp mount towards the bottom.

Stereo looks not happy. Try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes and then hooking it back up.

 

Yup.

 

well the stereo isnt stuck like that. just does it from time to time. its odd.

and ill look for that port to the plug again later. thanks guys.

 

oh and why would anyone cut the headlight bracket?

 

the readout is reading -22 because the air temp sensor is unplugged.....the sensor should be in the headlight housing on the drivers side. It's probably missing

 

there is somthing wrong with your car. i have a feeling your car was in a aciendent ( due to stuff people misplaced, unpluged etc) . Then on top of that the previous owner of your car was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

sunburst the plug wasnt even plugged in. I took out the whole headlight bracket behind the headlight and plugged it back in. this is the first time ive ever had a temp reading lol.

salvage i agree something funny is up with my car, but I had a friend whos a mechanic check all the crumple zones and what not and he doesnt think it was wrecked. if it was it wasnt any kind of major impact or it was hella repaired. lol

 

so the connector was unplugged and you had no reading......then you plugged it in, and now it reads -22?

 

correct sir. I found it randomly looking into why my horn didnt work. the horn was unplugged and I saw that plug for the temp sensor. looked into what it was and then found the port and plugged it in. started the car and it sat on -22 for a while then said ice warning or w.e. lol havent restarted it since.

 

well, it won't update right away......so if you drive it and the temp doesn't change, you will most likely have a bad temp. sensor.

 

ahh ok ill go for a drive shortly. im still trying to figure out why all those were unplugged and why the bracket was cut. and why the side skirting is scrapped like it was lowered lol. so much unknown.

 

it works now! yay

 

Win!

That headlight bracket was clipped, possibly by the manufacturer of the headlamp or the tool that installed it.

 

would there be any reason why only the drivers side headlight is clipped and not the passengers? lol

 

It was probably a ID10-T that was the cause.

 

^^ really believe that one. found what looks to be a piece of the front grill, the long black vent things, jammed in the front of my motor when I was messing with my ic pump. but I have all my vent pieces....

 

I second that error
