I'm working from '97 wiring manual and '98 service cd it's possible changes made for '99-'00 models. Perhaps a member with the '99-'00 manual could advise us in this area.

For '98 fuse 30 feeds an OG/GN wire and Fuse 36 a VT/OG wire to the airbag monitor. Wires are a straight run from connectors at fuse panel to connector at monitor; no intermediate connectors.
With the fuse panel flipped down there are two columns of connectors to the right of column of relays. In the right column the 10 pin connector at the bottom should have the OG/GN wire and the VT/OG wire should be in the 4 pin connector above that.

Are you original owner?
If not, I think I'd put 10 amp fuse in position 30 as a test. Functions fed by fuse 30 in '98; power antenna control, instrument gauge module, gearshift lever unit (atx only) and airbag monitor. [Quite plausible, with minor revisions, that this fuse not required in '00 SVT].

BTW, were you just running wire for amp thru' firewall or did you tap into a circuit at fuse panel?




p.s. Adjust your threads/page from default 10. I use 30 and you just moved your post up a little while I was preparing this response. Your post deleted.
