Found this crap while installing my new led side marker lights that came today...

Love the workmanship and the finished look.>>>Dan

When I tie a knot in wire like that I always try to drip some solder on it to make a better connection but I like how its out away from everything so they didn't have to waste any black tape on it.

Is it live or just tied up dead stuff? 

[Ace]

These are the live wires going to the side marker/turn signal lights.
I  must not have been that clear but I meant to say I was replacing  my oem markers with leds...

[Busted Knuckle]

Ace are you using 24 or 12 V LEDs? Just curious.

They probably tied the knot in these wires to keep the electrons from spilling out and causing a short.

  I was wondering if that was the new SAE standard, glad y'all set me straight.

[Ace]

BK, these are all 12v. The oem's are 12v as well.

Better to find it now by accident than later on purpose...

Ace, If you don't mind me saying, That's very ugly.

This is the kind of "quality workmanship" that keeps me away from buying somebody else's conversion. AFAIK there are several reasons to sell a conversion:
owner ran out of money, so cut all corners before giving up.
owner got tired of fixing it time and time again
owner too old to keep driving
owner died, then some or all of the above may be part of the deal.

Many years ago i bought an old 55 Dodge farm pickup. Started to have a problem with a tail light blowing the fuse every now and then. Crawled underneath and found that from  the fuse panel back to the light there were 5 sections of wire spliced together and none were taped. Enough slack that if you hit a bump just right one of the connections could sway enough to come into contact with the frame and short out the fuse if the lights were on. One of those pieces was only 1 foot long.   Ran a new wire the whole length back and no more problems.

Maybe a Bobby Easter repair Ace sorry I had to say that lol could be he was out of wire nuts at the time

good luck

Clifford, now that's funny! To me it looks like a side of the road job from the previous driver. Even the rubber grommets were missing that the screws go into. Who knows?
Ask the lights are on now and working!
