J-Meiser Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Good evening! As above, I found the highlighted connection (see image below) sitting unused behind the dash, near my ABS sensor, unplugged. I couldn't see a socket to plug it in to, so I was wondering if someone could tell me what it is meant to be used for?

Guest Timehawk Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Might be for the active spoiler if I remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Meiser Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Might be for the active spoiler if I remember right. Admittedly, that's what I thought at first, but upon closer inspection, the pins are in a different location. I have attached an image of the rear of a Active Spoiler Switch and highlighted where the pins are different to the connector. At any point, did the pin layouts change for the Active Spoiler switches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Look like top dash panel plugs, the part that has the ODO etc in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Look like top dash panel plugs, the part that has the ODO etc in it That would be my best guess, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Meiser Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Look like top dash panel plugs, the part that has the ODO etc in it The wire itself isn't long enough to reach up there . My odometer is plugged in, so is my hazard button; when I took the dash apart yesterday to rectify the mistake I made when splicing the pink wire into the blue/red one behind the odometer, I couldn't see a spare socket anywhere up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Do the heater controls still work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Meiser Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yep, all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Heater control plugs are orange afaik. Id say they are plugs for the active spoiler, ECU, not the button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yes, you're right, they are orange, apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yep active spoiler ECU that normally goes on top of the ABS controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Meiser Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yep active spoiler ECU that normally goes on top of the ABS controller I did rule out the Active Spoiler ECU, as the socket on the one that I have is a completely different size: I do apologise about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Definitely not active spoiler, I've just plugged one in - - - Updated - - - Are these redundant plugs for the optional 'active' sound system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Meiser Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 I know that the 15-pin connector is for the active sound system, but the other one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
