    Best way to get rid of wires?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So since State Farm only offered to cover one foglight for my S4 bumper, I decided to just not run them. that left 2 cables for fogs out in the open, and thats no good. Does anyone have a schematic or something to where the foglight harness is? Is it just a simple unplugging? Whats the best way to get them out of my engine bay?

    Also, I pulled my SAI, and that also left a nice cable laying around in my engine bay. I've heard of a resistor mod for it, so where should I cut it, and what resistor do I need?

    I'm not getting a CEL from it either, which is weird.

    Lastly, me, being the genius I am, accidentally pulled one of the green wires out of the MAF connector, and its throwing a P0102 for low input. How would one go about putting it back in?

    Could I just pull the whole thing out? I really want to do a custom intake set up for the new turbo and stuff. Even though its still a K0X turbo, anything helps.

    re fog light leads: wrap a little e-tape around them to 'seal' the ends and zip tie them to something [like the harness them came from].

    re the maf wire: if the metal connector [that fits inside the plug housing] is still attached to the wire, then you should be able to plug it back into the connector.

    if it's not [and it's probably not] then you'd need an extraction tool to pull out the metal connector pin and resolder / crimp it to the wire, and then reinsert it into the plug.

    you should be able to get the terminal out with tweezers / dental pick etc but there is a pin extraction tool for vag products if you want to be all official. the dealer will have parts like the metal connector if you beef it up getting it out.

    the less cool way is to cut the corresponding wire on the other side of the plug and connect them separately but i didn't say that.
