Re: Additional Loose Wiring
My vehicle has several unused connectors under the bonnet and behind the dash.
I've always assumed these are where cable looms are made to a single design to cope with many different vehicle versions and options, so some will always be superfluous.

Re: Additional Loose Wiring
If I am right that looks like the passenger side dashboard of our Rienza and there are the same plugs. It’s likely the base vehicle has the same wiring loom for other models and some plugs are redundant.

Yup, right you are! The Ravenna, Dorado and Rienza are pretty much the sameDave 418 wrote:If I am right that looks like the passenger side dashboard of our Rienza and there are the same plugs. It’s likely the base vehicle has the same wiring loom for other models and some plugs are redundant.
This is my "Champ" a nice wee 2004 Ravenna
Will test it to see if it's live etc. Could be useful

Re: Additional Loose Wiring
I found those connectors whilst trying to cure a rattle above the glove box. The step warning buzzer wasn’t fastened down as per the picture.
Also during my quest to sort the step wiring I found an inline fuse holder in there. That is the fuse for the buzzer not the step as I thought. The additional wiring care of Autosleepers for the step on mine is a nightmare. I still havnt sorted the automatic retract. At least the buzzer works now.

Only one on the far right by the air filter, which is supposed to be an early version of an engine fault code reader. I had no joy with that.The Jacobite wrote:

As for the rest, I don't like poking around with things I don't understand, especially when everything that needs to work, does.
There are no obvious mating connectors near any of them that I could see that may have come adrift.
Let sleeping dogs (and idle connectors) lie!

???? Transits have all been fitted with the standard OBD 16 pin connection since 1994.... regardless of whether the engine is OBD compliant or not. The engine OBD socket on a mk6 transit in behind the removable panel under the steering wheel
