Reply to "Under Dash Trims"

Michael 1424: If you are describing the area directly above where one would place their feet in the foot wells of the passenger and driver's side, to the best of my knowledge, no trim pieces ever existed. The only trim pieces associated with the dash are two plastic pieces that mount on each side of the console going forward to the trunk bulkhead. There is a hinged trim piece (metal, covered with vinyl trim) covering the fuse panel. In my vehicle, the passenger foot well has a vented metal box containing various relays.
The dash wiring, for the most part, is bundled together, running from the fuse box, and mounted along the upper dash bulkhead with metal tabs, and is tucked in behind and above the A/C evaporator. Branch looms come off the main loom for the instrumentation. The ground wires, for essentially the entire vehicle, are within the loom and connect to a ground post in the upper left corner behind the dash.
From what you are describing, someone may have removed the wiring harness for easier access, thereby leaving the wires "exposed" or removed from the mounting tabs.
