What are all these wires?

This section is for discussion of OEM police package options and police equipment for the Caprice (both OEM and after-market), as well as after-market upfitting perfomed on our cars.

What are all these wires?

Post by Hybridc24k »

Are these important 🤔 I'm debating whether to just cut them and rip it out. Lol.

Looks like there are some control boxes with names on them. Google the names and investigate if they tie into anything factory. There is at least one HDMI cable, probably for a video recording system. Multi-pin flat connectors indicate a computer system. I wouldn't cut anything but trace them all out and remove them as an assembled bundle(s). There might be wires attached to factory wiring, be careful.

Good luck,

Damn, that car had quite the upfit, seems like a lot more than the normal stuff. I wonder if it was a speed camera car or something like that. Most of that can come out, just take your time following wires and pay attention to lines that are connected to the cars factory harnesses.

I really need to look into stripping my car out although I don't have near as much stuff in there as you do.

Lots of good wiring in the pile for the guy that tinkers on stuff. Some of the colors you won’t find at your local parts store.

Do you know what department that car came from? I'm asking because that Patrol-Power fuse box is made and installed mostly by a company local to me in San Diego. The only ones I've seen in Caprices were from my department. I'd be interested in knowing where your car was in service. Purely curiosity. Thanks!
