Found a wire that puzzles me... - Petebob - 29-07-2014
'afternoon all,
I was wiring a towbar in yesterday and came across this yellow wire with a female, blue connector that was a permanent live.
It was taped up against the loom and looked like it was there since the loom was fitted.
Out of curiosity I wondered if anyone knew what this is for?

Does everything work? If so dont worry. But at a guess they use the same wiring harnesses on sevral models abroad or.not. Wires just not connected in this country/model

thats interesting where abouts was it? is it perminant live or switched live as it may make a good charging point for a emergency torch

Hi Cully,
Wire is located in the off side rear, under the plastic above and to the right of the parcel shelf that the loom hides under.
The keys were out of the ignition when I tested the wire.

Anything like a rear alarm sensor? What power was it giving ? 12v?

Strange wire, i think my portuguese 306 doesnt have this wire or i never saw it
RE: Found a wire that puzzles me... - Nunolinha - 07-09-2014
It will be good for a 12v permanent charger
RE: Found a wire that puzzles me... - seanyleary - 07-09-2014
12v for running a fridge when towing a caravan. For use with 12 pin trailer socket maybe.

Its not anywhere near where a boot light may be? The little rectangle ones that come on when the boot opens? Looks like an identical plug to those used in the 106s

Maybe its something crazy for the euro spec models and something we didnt get in the uk.
RE: Found a wire that puzzles me... - Toms306 - 08-09-2014
The boot light is on the other side. Wonder if its moved over for lhd models? Can't see why it would be though!
