    Default Anyone know what this connector is for ?

    I eventually got around to checking the security of the Nut on the steering column, and of course you have to remove the undershield above the pedals, so I immediately saw this extra connector, but there doesnt seem to be anywhere to plug it into.

    as it is associated with the 'gong' harness, I searched using that and found nothing relevant.

    Anyone know what it is for ?

    it's just one of the scores of plugs on the car that our market doesn't have accessorys to plug into it, i think it's for the electronic ball scratcher/twat twiddler

    There is an orange single wire that connects to the turn signal stalk grounding the message center in the instrument cluster. It triggers the stalk OBC messaging under the speedo & tach.

    Red wires/connectors/buttons are always linked to some self-destruct mechanism. I would leave it alone.
