Here's the videos. First one is before we figured out that there was a wire under the fuse panel covered that was unplugged.

Second one is from 2 hours later, after I'd started thinking something was terribly wrong. I sound like a moron, but it's been NINE MONTHS since I last heard my car run.

No drive around the block tonight. We didn't hook up the radiator hoses or any of the belts. That's next....after I get a new radiator drain plug (cracked it when I tightened it tonight )

If the files don't stream fast enough, just *right click* and *save as*

What is the function of the wire that caused the problem?

I'm not sure yet, but it branches off from the O2 sensor wire.
