I left my 2001 Explorer in the driveway for a few months. I gave the batt a short charge, but the engine would not start. Turned over fine. Splayed some starting fluid into the intake. No start. Looking the engine over closely, I found that some critter chewed some wiring. The question is, What is this wire going to? Please look at the attached photo, dead center. The view is from the drivers side fender looking towards the passenger side fender.

Thanks.

I guess you cant post a photo without paying $20.00

That's the plan. I'd just like to know what I'm soldering together, and if its the reason that the vehicle won't start. My concern is that the critters ate dinner somewhere else in the engine compartment. This sled is going to the scrap yard, at least as it looks likely now.
