This has 2 cables...one cable is coming of the live terminal on the battery and one cable goes in another direction!! The yellow thing is a 20amp fuse.

Anyone know what it is?

Thanks

A picture would be nice.

I'll make a random guess and say power wire for an amplifier.

It's a power wire someone has fitted for something. All you can really do is follow it and see where it ends up.

Auxiliary feed for something pull the fuse and see what stops working or
trace the wire.

Looking at the dodgy crimped connector and the fact the wire is just loose, its obviously not a factory wire. I'd guess at either a stereo amp, or possibly an auxillary power to a towbar coupling?

Could see it being anything important, so cut the ends off and used it for my amp power.

Then the roof wouldnt go up or down!!

Turns out it is a BMW fuse holder and powers something to do with the roof. replaced and now all is OK.

Excellent way of diagnosing it there!
