Hey, I noticed on my ecu and in my obd port there are similar wires that (I think) do the same thing. Both are green with a black stripe. I wanted to know if this wire in the cabin is the same that routes to the ECU and is this the same wire that if snipped would be a break snip? So I can break boost

on the photo- it’s the green wire that’s on the left side it’s slightly isolated

There's more than one green with black strip wire that aren't brake related

I understand that. If you follow the link, the exact location is step 3) Locate and cut the brake signal wire, green wire with a black stripe, on the driver side ECU connector. We've seen a few cars with multiple green wires with black stripe. Be sure to find the one that is running to spot #83 on the connector, it's the last wire in it's row so relatively easy to spot in there without taking the connector apart. It's on the bottom part of the wiring loom.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
No that isn't the wire. That's not the ecu. The wire your cutting is under the hood.
 
You would need to get the wiring diagrams to see where that circuit comes from. I'm willing to bet that Terry has already picked the location that's easiest to get to.
The colors and markings are reused *a lot*. There are *A LOT* of wires in this car. The area you're poking is the cabin fuse panel, so that's most likely some sort of power circuit for something, and nothing to do with the brakes.
The brake switch on the brake pedal probably goes to the brake control unit, and I bet a wire goes straight from there to the ECU. Pure speculation - I don't have the wiring diagrams as no one has copied those out yet.
