BRAKE BEFORE SHIFT

Have done a little work on the car (fuel filter & air filter) and when i was done i took it for a spin.
Suddenly while was driving BRAKE BEFORE SHIFT came up ?????

After reading various entries in the forum i took my tools and went out to the car.

I HAVE PICTURES, Don't know how it works

Opened the fuse box to look at number 21, it was missing and the other three that should be (in that section) EMTY

Opened up to check the connectors at the brake pedal and found that the white cable was cut (the little grey with orange, blue and white cable)

This is a used car, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE ?????

Do i need to be worried about this ?
The code that i got 10 PCM P0705

Sounds like you bought yourself a nice headache. Time for a wiring diagram and VOM.

Time to buy the service manual and start tracing things out. Any idea who did the hack job conversion?

Got online and found out that this is what people do (cut the white cable spending no money) when converting to the EU

Little bit worried about the fuses and the rest of the car
