Why would there be a red wire running to my IGN 0 fuse in my 2002 Suburban?

Asked by McNair May 20, 2020 at 01:08 PM about the 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 LT 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Recently my 2002 suburban ABS light came on, battery light came on, and
stopped shifting out of 2nd gear.  If I manually put it in 2nd gear, it will go
fine at slower speeds (<35). But once it's back in Drive, it won't shift again. Anyways, I read up on it and went ahead and changed the VSS hoping that would work. DIdn't work. Then I went to unplug and check some of the fuses, and there is a red wire going to the IGN 0 Fuse #5. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be there.

Trace the wire out. Someone added an accessory without fuse protection. Not good.
