What does this do????????? - insomaniac45 - 01-07-2016
Hey guys,
While shining up the engine bay a little, i found this!!!!!
![[Image: 5B17F06F-793E-4D82-AA42-EE66F3B9219B.jpg]](http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu261/igmaniac/Truck/5B17F06F-793E-4D82-AA42-EE66F3B9219B.jpg)
The only thing on the car that does not work, are the remote central locking, (as i dont have a fob i believe) and the siren.
Neither of those worry me, as the car does otherwise work as it should. So what does this do???????
It is located infront of the engine bay fusebox.

Stealth flux capacitor.
Hope you haven't gone over 88mph........

Well its a plug and socket so presumably connects things together...
Must admit, I don't remember seeing that connector on HDi's or GTi6s so might be cabby or age specific, follow the wires to see where they go would be the best bet tbh.

That sir, is a mystery
good luck!

white wire is broken on the plug!

I think that's why he's asking what it's for lol...
RE: What does this do????????? - bashbarnard - 01-07-2016
its on xuds as well. well all of ours have it. have never followed it though never needed to
RE: What does this do????????? - Toms306 - 01-07-2016
If it's on XUDs, maybe it's for the fan control box under there? Would make sense with the fan fuses being in that fusebox, and not being on HDi's as they don't use a bitron box...
RE: What does this do????????? - bashbarnard - 01-07-2016
fan controls are self contained on the xud. just an external power and earth
RE: What does this do????????? - insomaniac45 - 01-07-2016
i will investigate further when i get the chance, but. Everything works on the cabby, except the Siren, and the RCL. the RCL i believe is down to not having an RCL fob, so i wonder if it is anything to do with the alarm?

not only is the white wire clearly broken, but the yellow and the red are also very very very suspect.

Ph2 XUD definitely uses a bitron box under the inner wing, needed to swap it for a HDi to XUD swap. May not use those wires to it though!

RCL should still work by putting the key in the door, whether you have buttons on the fob or not. But that's more likely a door loom.
Don't think it's anything to do with the alarm, the siren wiring shouldn't be easily accessible for obvious reasons lol.

It is similar to the EGR plug on my XUD (which is 'accidently' unplugged )

The central locking works fine, but i dont have Remote Central locking as i dont have the right fob
EGR on a petrol........ but it is wierd how everything works as it should, but this IS clearly broken.....
RE: What does this do????????? - Toms306 - 02-07-2016
Oh I see what you mean...having no buttons on the fob would make remote locking difficult lol, I read it wrong.
Do the rad fans work? Fog lights? Follow the wires as it's doing my head in not knowing haha.
RE: What does this do????????? - insomaniac45 - 02-07-2016
i dont have twin fans
i only have 1 and that works, fogs work too. as i said, the only thing that does not actually work, is the siren.
I may upgrade to the twin fans, but i cant see the point atm, as mine works fine. As i dont have aircon i cant see the point in adding more fans if it does its job.
lol. i will have a deeper look when the weather improves. I have bought new top mounts and drop links, so i have to spend some time under the wheel arch, it wont add too much time tracing these wires back i hope

see if you can 'nab' a bt oscillator set. will help with wire trace.
RE: What does this do????????? - insomaniac45 - 02-07-2016
could that not damage any electronics? if not, any one local got anything similar
...
RE: What does this do????????? - Magenta Sunset - 02-07-2016
the one I use emits a 1kHz tone, interrupted or continuous. used for tracing pnone ccts in multicore cables.
