Before I start, thank you to Bushwacker for answering my query today in the 3.0 section, as is often the case the answer was staring me in the face once I had been told
Anyway, I fitted and CD/tuner in the Surf today to replace the Jap radio/cassette. All went well thanks to some research on here beforehand (this forum is a Godsend). Whilst I had the bottom of the dash removed I noticed a black box below where the radio sits - on the floor in fact. Out of this box comes a loom of wires that goes off to a larger loom near the steering column. The interesting / worrying thing though was the single black wire coming from the back of this black unit; the end of the wire is stripped back as if it was once connected somewhere and hanging loose. For now I have just taped it up but what can it be?
Oh and this box sits alongside / on top of another black box which has writing along the lines of "Computer 4WD Control" but is not connected to it in any way.
Any takers please?
