On another thread, some of us have been discussing about a pair of wires that terminate at the left shock tower. One is a solid white wire with the other one also white but interspersed with small green bands. This was brought to my attention by fellow member Tom P, whose car also have these wires. Interesting enough, these wires were also in my other previously owned CS.
After some investigation, I've found these are factory wirings. They were wrapped and bundled along with the tail light wiring harness. This harness terminates at the radio region along with the radio hot and ground wires and all four wires were factory bundled together. So this is my theory, these 2 wires were intended for an optional rear monoral speaker setup as I believed the original cars were hooked up only to the upper dash speaker. Were stereos ever an factory option?
Any other thoughts or inputs? Thanks.
