Default Wire harness
Hey guys I’ve just installed a new cam, balancer etc. There is a wire connector just forward of the balancer that was removed and the wires came out of where it was connected. I have searched but can’t find anything in the area. From the plug to the end of the wire is about 12”. Any ideas?

Connectors generally can be re pinned if the plastic is in tact.

Sounds like you pulled the wires out of the steering rack.

If you pulled the wires completely out of the rack so there is nothing to splice, you have two choices:

1) Rebuild the rack. You will most likely need a creative solution for the wire feed-through, as many leak after rebuild. Some on the forum has successfully printed their own.

2) Replace the rack

Magnasteer. It's in the "steering" section of your service manual.
