    Sorry I can't help. I've hade that panel of on mine and don't remember seeing a yellow wire.
    Don't pull on it, no telling what it's attached to!

    That's it. I guess for a right hand drive you would see much. I should be too surprised to find zip tied parts, dangling relays, and stray wires. It is an English car after all. At least it doesn't say Lucas.

    You may be seeing evidence of a flat rate mechanic having been there before you. Many are great, but many are sloppy & take short cuts.

    The wire that triggers the airbag is yellow.....be careful messing around with that.

    I don't know that that is what this wire is for, just FYI'in.......
