I might have really messed up on my car. It's a 2007 Mazdaspeed 6. I was trying to run some wires through the big grommet under the clutch pedal. I poked a hole through it off to the side and tried to carefully run a clothes hanger through to the other side. It made it through, and it was to the left of the big bunch of wires, but after I turned my car back on after getting the wires through, the 4WD and traction lights are stuck on the dash, and it definitely feels like it's only in FWD because I've never heard the tires spin in a straight line before this. However I also hooked up a code reader and it's not showing any codes at all.
So i'm fairly certain I must have cut a very important wire or something, does anyone have any suggestions?
Sounds like time to pull the battery & battery tray out and get a very good look at the harness. There have been a few occasions where a wire, or 12, have been nicked in that bundle during the process of running additional wires through that grommet.
I've taken a look at what I can see but it all looks normal. If I cut a wire it's on the inside of the grommet, so I guess the next thing to do would be to take that out and see if any wires are cut. Is there an easy way to get that out?
Yeah hindsight is always 20/20 haha. I thought it would be easier to poke through some rubber than drill a new hole, obviously that didn't work out well! Should have weighed the risks of snagging a wire more carefully
Lemme know if its ruined, im pulling all my wires. I should be able to pull and sell that section, although not evrything ive pulled makes it out in one piece.... Esp the plastic retaining clips, those are toast about 50% of the time..
