While exploring under the scuttle, extracting dead leaves etc, I came across a 2 pin connector (female) just dangling. It appears to have a brown wire and a slate/orange wire.

Anyone seen this?

Just wondering if its important and if its supposed to go somewhere?

 

I believe that's intended to connect to the wires per the top of the air shock.

 

Nope! That connector is present and correct. (Blue and yellow wires)

According to IETIS there are no Orange/slate wires? (doesn't appear in the dictionary)

 

Air quality sensor .There should be a air particle detector which closes the external flaps if there’s a lot of fumes in front.

Yours looks like it’s missing .See under the bottom LHS of the improvised weather cover on the fuse / relay box .



There’s a waterproof sheet covering the fuse box

Sheets rotated up .The Vac pipe is removing debris from under the HVAC unit .

 

This thing?

I have one of those!

 

Need a bigger pic to see where your plug it is ?

 

Will post a wider photo tomorrow...

But basically the cable comes out from under the plastic try that carries 2 connectors, just left of the fuse box, in front of the ECU's.

More or less where the arrow is.

The big thick cable in my pic, is the one just behind the arrow.

 

Wider shot of mystery connector:

 

I know you guys have everything backwards/opposite over there...
But it appears that the lower section windscreen heating element has the plug on the same side, be it LHD or RHD, see if the two black wires off of the black ribbon cable at the bottom of the windscreen are plugged in.

Hi Johnny,

I think mine is plugged in with blue brown, top of pic:

 

Are we talking about a heater for the parked wipers or the other park heater, which is the auxillary heater isn't it?

OK found the park heater and park position heater on IETIS. Confused myself! These are two completely different things...

Pretty sure its not the park poisition heater, but will have another look just to be sure.

 

I am referring to the windshield wiper's park position heater that is a 2 wire copper heating element at the lower portion of the windscreen, if you look at the VIN # area you can see the fine copper wire in the glass, that is what the ribbon cable connects to, I will have a look for the lone plug you have later tonight.

Hello @rich9911 ,
I dug through the old flooded wiring harness, and found a orange with yellow tracer, and brown with white tracer, and that is plugged into the heater control unit, the item with the 4 hoses and 2 pumps on top.

Worth a look.

See pictures.

Thanks for look, but pretty sure I have that one too!

Will check again tomorrow.

By the way, I see the fuse box in those photos. Do you know if it has a water drain hole in the bottom?

 

@rich9911 ,
No drainage holes, and you wouldn't want any drain hole in the fuse box, because if the cowl drains ever failed then hole in the fuse box would let water into said fuse box and into the harness.
