What is this wire?
I was out wheeling today in the snow haven bunch of fun, but when I got off the trail I noticed this wire hangin down from my rear diff. So I looked on my buddies 93 V6 pickup to see where the wire goes, and there was none on the top of his diff(thats where the wire is hangin from). So than i did some lookin around in my service manual, and here on the forum and couldn't figure out where the that wire goes to, or the purpose. I had never really look to see where it went before. And can't find where it is to be plugged in, also my truck is still running normally. So I am just wondering what the heck this wire is for, and where it goes(see pictures here- http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/468110/5 )
Thanks
Thanks

It is the speed sensor for the ABS. I had one in the diff that I swapped into my truck. I covered the hole with a piece of metal. I don't know where the wire connects to. Did you look under neath for the other end of a wire?

That's when I started looking for another Toy with ABS.

there is a difference between gens with the trucks and 4Runners. 3rd gen pickups have the same body styling as the 2nd gen 4Runners. there are only 3 gens of pickups then they started producing the tacomas. 95 is when the tacos came out and 96 is when the 3rd gen 4Runners came out. correct me if im wrong.
