Hi all,
I have a 2007 Chevy Avalanche that has 100k miles on it that I got from my Uncle last summer (upgraded from my 96' Ford Ranger). The avalanche has every bell and whistle that my Uncle could think of, so I am still figuring it all out. Last fall, I got rear ended by someone in traffic that was looking at their phone. Short story - he got arrested for not having a license.
The dealership had to replace the front and back bumpers, tailgate, quarter panels, etc. My uncle had a radar detector put in that was in the front bumper and rear license plate holder. I was walking up to my truck yesterday, and saw this wire/connector hanging down. I have never seen this before, and I asked around but no one knew what it was.
The wires are in a harness and flow into the main rear wiring harness. I was thinking it was for the backup sensor, but they all have wires running to them (picture of a backup sensor in the link). I am not sure if it goes to the radar detector or if it is something else. Truck runs normally and doesn't have any dash lights on.
It looks as if I cannot post pictures, since I am a new member. I put a link to my google drive with 2 photos of the wires/connectors and 1 of the backup sensor. Please use your mouse to hover over the link or copy/past the link address in a word doc to see that it is not a virus/spam. If someone knows how I can post pictures (it tells me to contact an administrator), please advise.
In the interim - Avalanche Wire/Connector Pics
Thanks everyone,
Sniehof
