What Is It?

Recommended Posts

I've been getting my Pug ready to go back on the road after its been sat in the garage for 3 years and I've had all the lights etc off for a month or two and when putting it all back together tonight I couldn't remember what this wire was for?

Its located behind the passenger side head light.

I'm struggling to remember too! Possibly the connector for the driving light on that side (or Fog Light as some people mistakenly call them).

Driving lights are definitely yellow!

 

I just can't figure it out, its probably staring me right in the face!

what loom is it attached to? the cooling fan loom is quite short and compact, then you have the lighting and ancillaries loom.

It wasn't connected on my car when I looked earlier, and I haven't disconnected it...

Here's another stab in the dark - is it something to do with the fans? I have vague memories of reading about a spare connector for the fan, possibly like another diagnostic socket to test it is working, or some crap like that.

 

 

I'm about as much use as a cock flavored lolli pop, ain't I?!

Its a spare connector thats unused on all UK GTi's afaik. (All the ones I've seen have had it anyway). Try to get a wire number from it & see if we can find it on the Haynes wiring diagrams.

 

Spare plug on cooling fan loom is three pinned brown & you can test the fans work by bridging the middle pin to either of the outer pins for low / high speed.

Yep it's an unused plug. I seem to remember reading on here recently what it was for though but it's not used on gti's.

No wonder I couldn't remember where it was from :unsure:
