Model 3 loose wire?

[Carl Bourne]

My Model 3 standard range Tesla received a bump to front bumper which pulled it away from mounts. I have replaced the bumper and bumper wiring loom. But I’ve only just noticed that a connection is missing from the main wiring loom on the front drivers side very near where the bumper wiring loom connects to main loom.

The broken cable only has a white and grey cable which can be seen in the photo.

Can anyone identify what the cable connect too? Which may allow me to fix the loom without removing the entire wiring loom from car?

Thank you for your advice and time

I don't know, but the kink in the middle might offer a clue. Possibly it was connected to the body or a support structure here with some sort of cable tie. The old bumper might also have a rubbed clean spot on it where the cable was attached. The old bumper could also have a two wire connector on it with missing wires. Gotta be a bit of a Sherlock Holmes.

Could it be the wire to the pedestrian warning speaker?

Thank you. Sadly not connected to bumper. So I’ll keep searching. Hopefully someone on this group may have a bumper removed to take another image of theirs.

That’s a thought. I’ll take a look

Did you have the repair done by a shop? If that is the case, they should be responsible for completing this repair. That is just one man’s opinion.

My friend I have just researched and i think it is highly likely to be the pedestrian warning speaker. As such I will do some checking tomorrow. Thank you.

Your right , but I’m trying to save some money and doing some of it myself.

The speaker attaches to the undertray right under that spot.

Thank you. I've ordered one and I think that's what it is
