If it's an electrical wire to brake pedal, either brake light switch, cruise control switch or tcc switch. You'll have to be more specific or provide a photo.

if you dont know what you are doing and you're breaking stuff under there then maybe you should stop before you mess something up that you cant fix. youve got a chiltons manual , use it before you come on here and ask dumb questions.

sk8runeg, do you have a picture or a better description of what it is you broke? You should have a rod that goes to the brake booster, and either one or two electrical switches. One for cruise control and one for brake lights. They all will effect the car to varying degrees.

I found out that it is the cruise control mechanism that is notorious for breaking when the steering column is dropped. Thanks for the help guys.

Why the negative disposition? That sounds like a legitimate question to me.
