Random Plug

Postby AE82 FXGT » Fri Jan 06, 2006 3:35 pm

Hello all,

I was taking apart my dash a bit to look at how much mounting depth I have for my speakers, when I found a random plug hanging in behind my glovebox. Naturally I took off my glove box and after a bit I found what looks like the other end of it. Does anyone know what this plug does? It has about 2 groups of 6 pins in a 2 by 6 arragement.

most of the plugs are designed to plug into only one thing (well in same car of course)...
Although I've stumbled accross 2 identical plugs in my ST165 one was for connectig some AC crap other was for I/C Water pump control, it took me a while to figure why the hell I was getting error code for I/C. But lucky I did not burned anything...

I haven;t checked the trans code but I'm syre it was auto and converted to a manual. So I guess I can just leave them unplugged then.
