Hi Guys sorry if this is to opened of a question but i thought i might as well ask.
I am removing my aftermarket alarm soon but while looking at it i noticed a wire that has been put in, as far as i can tell it is not part of the alarm but could be.
The wire comes out of my fuse box (front drivers side) just stuck in place under the fuse and down to the electric box thing/harness behind the kick panel on the driver side foot. The wire it goes to is white with grey lines.
it's spliced to the wire.
The fuse is rr rear blower
My question is - what would require someone to splice any wire to a fuse like that?
Is it to give it power? or what? or to bypass the fuse?
I can tell its a piss poor job as it's insulation taped badly and not soldered - looks like a home job, a professional could never leave it like that.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Thanks Mic - I have tried to do what you have suggested as far as i can tell the wire only has power when the fuse is plugged in. When i tested the terminal it was pushed into (left) without the fuse it had no power and therefore the orange wire had no power.
What do you think they are trying to achieve by doing this - providing power to something i ussume.. just realised there is power point in the back of the car - this might be what it's for? I will test.
Wow!! Is there allot of accessories on the car? If not then to be honest I'd be removing that wire and anything that fails rewire into a designated slot.
Pretty dodgy! At least that got on the right side of the fuse! Never seen anyone stick a wire in there before!!!
YENDORRRRRR!!!! Check tis out mate!!! WTF!

Looks like they have done this to grab a power supply, as it isn't easy to find a power source under the dash....
