HELP... What are these cables/wires??? Ran over a tree in the road...

[Salmanilla]

I ran over a tree branch in the road yesterday and it got wedged under my Mojave (Passenger side/Front). Pulled out the 4" thick branch this morning and noticed that it had severed the connection on the Lower of these 2 cables. I do not have any warning lights on and everything seems to be working properly. Does anyone know what these cables are connected to? Again, it is the lower of the 2 cables that has been broken.

TIA

I don’t think those are wires. Can you tell what they are connecting to?

They look maybe like fluid lines or control cables for t case or transmission. Gas or diesel?

I would not drive it until you know for a fact what they are though.

\ She is Gas.

Can you get more pictures from different angles showing adjacent things?

It is the Lower Cable. Connected to the Passenger's side of the transfer case.

I would not drive this until it’s repaired in that case.

That’s the transmission with the black pan. T-case is behind the approximately 6” long adapter.

E-Brake cable ?? There are 2 cables going back there follow them see if I am right if not then it is the transfer case shift cable.

I’m 90% sure that’s not e brake. I’m guessing the op figured this out as the replies stopped coming, but I’m hoping they’ll share what it was to see how bad it was.

When it severed the lines - did you have a pile of oil or liquid from it breaking?

Do you have a transmission cooler?

I think OP is asking about these wires. I can’t tell if there’s a couple wires there, severed or not.
