vr-man 0 Posted November 29, 2004 Hi Everyone, Does anyone know what this connector and the three wires are for. Many months ago I took the carpet up and most of the plastic trim and centre console to sort out a water leak. Now I'm putting it all back together and cannot remember whether this originally had a purpose. Now it is just dangling about behind the storage hole near the gear stick. There are two connectors attached to the larger connector block. One connector has a grey/white wire and a yellow wire, the other has just one grey/white wire. Any ideas?[/img] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

too hot 0 Posted November 30, 2004 Yeah does it not fit near to the gear lever,to allow the Vag com leads to plug in :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 30, 2004 That looks like OBD related wiring to me too but it shouldn't be sitting there though. That socket should be clipped to the back of the centre console. Maybe it was knocked off when the alarm was fitted, if you've got one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr-man 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Thanks for your suggestions. Apologies for not replying sooner, away from the PC a lot at the mo. The socket for connecting to VAG-COM to is in the correct place, mounted directly in front of the gearstick linkages. I didn't need to disturb it thankfully when removing the carpets etc. The wires to the dangling connector dont appear to be the same colour as those going to the VAG-COM socket. But their function could be related I guess as they are close by. Will investigate with a multimeter to see if they are connected to the VAG-COM wires (or to any other car electrics) . My guess is its probably wires for some optional extra. The fact that the wires are not connected to anything does not seem to affect the running of the car or the alarm system. Would like to know for sure they of no importance though before putting the consoles back in, so might have a visit to the nearest garage familiar with Corrados.
