Chevy & GMC Vans

I've been meaning to ask this for a while:
there is a fairly hefty positive and negative cable to the bottom bolts that hold the glove box on my doghouse.
what in the worlds are these for?

Can you post some pics of them?

Positive and negative? I doubt they have any electrical going through them. Have you put a meter on them?

6spd_monte, I think he is talking about the 2 straps under the radio area. The go from right below the radio to two threaded rods on each front side of the doghouse. Is this correct, kings-x59? If so, I believe they are nothing but grounding straps mainly used to help hold the doghouse in place. I could be wrong though.

I think you're right. I was thinking the same thing, I just thought if he has something really weird that perhaps a previous owner had installed pics would be good.

previous owner was my mother, and I can gaurantee she didn't install them. I'll get some pics

Jax, it never occurred to me to put a meter on them. I assumed they came from the factory.

I've run the engine with the doghouse off, so they don't appear to have any affect on the engine electrical system.

Yeah I have those same cables, there is no voltage on them. They're just to hold the engine cover in place. I think the other end is just attached to the dash frame.

OK, thanks.
