What's this connector?
« on: 22 February 2012, 19:18 »
Saw this connector/plug thing at the back of my engine bay, and was wondering what it is/ does?



It's the one to the left of the horn. Can't see anything it should be connected to? (haven't looked very hard tho as it was raining)

Looks like ABS control mod plug.

Could it not be for an after market alarm ??  If it was ABS surely the light would be on dash.

Just looked and No  :undecided:. So first thing figured out I have no ABS  :sad:, but theres a bracket been made up and the brake line have been redirected, (so not a total bodge job which is good.

Next question, on the back of that plug in the pic I posted. Has a black wire and a white that has been cut, and two new wires have been soldered in and they go back into the car. I'm gunna have a proper look at the weekend were the wires go but for now any ideas what these are doing?

Cheers
