Unconnected connector

Post by chisty44 »

Hi
I’ve just bought a 2005 1.6 hdi Citroen c5 and noticed an unconnected cable that looks like it should be and has been in the past.
It’s a single wire blue connector that’s hanging down from being in with the big loom bundle that goes to the under bonnet fuse box . It hangs from just before the bundle enters the box.
It’s got a normal small push fit connector though
I’ve looked for an obvious places with in reach and there’s nothing there.
Could someone have a look at there’s for me please

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Could you post a photo to show the connector and its position, and post your VIN number as well?
(VIN will be masked to everyone except forum staff.)
Thanks.

Some wires are not connected purposefully. A picture would indeed be useful and also check the wiring sleeve. There should be a sequence of letters / numbers repeated every 3-4 inches on the sleeve. When we have your VIN, and the photo we can probably advise of what it is for and whether it is intentionally not connected or not.
