Default What gauge is this wire?



I lost my power windows recently, and the stereo started staying on the ignition was shut off. I traced the problem down to this broken wire between the driver door master switch and where the wiring harness enters the cab. Does anyone know for certain what gauge this wire is before I stop at Advance?

Thanks!!

I don’t, but if you are are going to splice in to repair, you could just cut a small piece and bring it in and match it up.

While you are at it, you may want to also check/clean your grounds too.

I should have been more clear- the stereo stayed on without ignition and after the door was closed.

No worries though- I added a 14 gauge jumper wire last night and everything is hunky-dory again.

Thanks for the tip s everyone.
