another mystery plug
Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2018 10:36 am
Every time I see an unused plug connected to the electrical harness I wonder about its intended use. A plug not connected to anything... isn't that a waste? Makes me sad, LOL
This time it's one buried far behind the glove box, with a bunch of orange wires going into it.
I noticed it while I was poking around looking for the grommet that leads to the engine bay. I just found a note on a forum mentioning it's really low, almost over the wheel arch. It's pretty easy to run a wire alongside the body panel to the battery but I don't like that the wire is visible when we go over the edge to go back into the cabin, under the dash.
The other plugs I found were under the dash on the driver's side.
I suspect one of those is for the fog lights but I don't know which one.
I wonder where the plug for the curtains might be. How would the curtains be wired... There isn't much info on the options that were available for the van.
I haven't seen a diagram showing the harness and what each of the plugs is for. I saw the 1995 maintenance manual whose wire colors don't seem to match the wires in my 1994 PF8W.
