Guest Mats R Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi! Does anybody know what these connectors go to: They are located on the left side of the car on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Looks like mid height behind the centre dash - heater bits and bobs I think! Your blue connector is orange in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 On a RHD car they are about 20 inches from the main harness connector just above the ECU. I can't remember where they plug in, but normally the orange ones are for the heater control units. The blue one plugs into the power steering control ECU (very small black box). It just happens I have one of these looms in front of me, here's a pic if it helps others identify what the orange plug goes into. It's not in the same group of connectors that go to the heater control and climate ECU and I think sits somewhere behind the glove boxes or in the ECU area. The orange heater control plugs are about 4 feet further down the loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mats R Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks for the replies. Can someone confirm Homers input? I will take a better pic tomorrow so you all can see where the connectors are located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Do you have a LHD or RHD car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mats R Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ok, here's a better pic of where the connectors are located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yep, they're the same ones I posted earlier. The blue one is definetely the PAS ECU, I couldn't find what the orange one connected to. The only plug on the loom diagram which looked the same was the central locking module connector, but I have some doubts... I'll be swapping this loom out at the weekend so if it's not resolved by then will be able to let you know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mats R Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ok!! So the blue is for Power Steering Control ECU. 1 down 1 to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Mats R, not sure if you got this solved already, but I can confirm the other one with the orange plug is the door control ECU Grabbed a couple of pics for you as well so let me know if you need them.

Chris Wilson Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 There's right load of weighty junk in these cars, isn't there? Pretty reliable junk, in fairness, but as cars get more and more complex, electronically, is this REALLY the way forward. New shape Astra, £800 for a headlight unit. That is supposed to be a low end family runabout.... Audi are charging overr £300 quid to renew a gas discharge headlamp bulb on some models. £800 plus for a Ford Focus diesel clutch assembly, parts only???
