Of the two smaller solid brown wires in that run, one is spliced to not only a solid brown wire going to that connection but also a slightly larger black wire that kind of wraps around things haphazardly before running forward up under the carpet toward the dash. Not sure what it is, where its going or what possible purpose it serves but its there. Here's a pic

Now... I'm not sure if this is the same wire but it is the same color and size... Also not sure what its doing but its just sort of jammed into the fuse box because why not...

I'm kidding, of course its not stock. The harnesses are all unwrapped and pulled apart... Everything is kind of a mess. Can anyone shed some light on what this master electrician was trying to accomplish and what I can do to start recovering?

I'm also pretty convinced none of this has anything to do with why my motherfrunking windows just frunking refuse to frunking work. Does anyone have any thoughts on that? BTW, I will not be replacing this stupid m535 box to the tune of $1200 so that's not an option. I'll reflashed the ecu to eliminate the central locking system and immobilizer before I do that. Just wanted to point that out right up front in case that turned out to be a suggested course of action... :-D

Seriously though, any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Someone has been playing in that sandbox before you got there. Mine is nothing like that. Sorry the car has been giving you such fits, but it seems your car is "special" in that way, as you seem to be going for a record. Perhaps it was not the builder but rather the rebuilder to blame for your headaches. I claim no expertise, but whenever I've had automotive electrical problems in the past, about 4 out of 5 times it was a faulty ground. Good luck.
