    I was fixing the buzzing sound coming from behind my glove box by cutting off the plastic sleeve. It seemed like the most of the buzzing was coming from this. I was half way finished with it when i noticed that i cut a few wires. I started the truck and noticed that my check engine light and the slip indicator light were illuminated. (obviously due to the cut wires). I attempted to reconnect but didn't succeed since some of the wires that i cut were the same color. (didn't know what wire goes where). What the F*!k should i do ?!?! i know this isn't going to be covered under warranty.

    Once you get the right wires matched up use a pair of helping hands ans soldier the wires back up. Don't forget to put on your heat shrink before you solider them up!

    Are they yellow with a black tracer by chance? (the cut wires)
