I,m currently waiting for a new Odo gear wheel from Roger, and while the binnacle is out I,m doing some WYAIT jobs.

When I removed the pod I noticed this connector plug I did not remove it from anything as by it,s size etc, you would know you had, it just seemed to appear when I pulled the pod, anyone know what it,s for, I can,t find anywhere it would connect.
SORRY ABOUT THE HUGE PICTURE, from my cell phone.

its for the optional flux capacitor!!!

You will always find an empty plug like that behind the pod. Rear euro fog light, US driving lights etc.

Thank,s Lizard, got twin rear fogs fitted, although I remember removing the plug for them, so guess it,s something else ? it is the same size as those plugs on the hazard, light switch, and the headlight/side switch etc.
As I said previously, you would have to physically pull a plug like that apart, which makes me think it was just hanging in there all the time ?

MY US 82 has couple extras although they had what looked like "factory tape" over them.

Euro has one for rear fogs as you already know, U.S. has one for trip reset.

..., thank,s for the replies , all wires that go in are brown when I can locate a multi-meter and battery back on, I,ll check and see if there,s life in the plug.
But I think it does seem, this is an "extra" plug for some other configuration / specification ?

USA Trip Odo Reset is a push switch on the left side of the pod. Wires to it should be:
Brown
Brown
Brown with white stripe
Black with blue stripe.

...., that,s interesting Wally..., the cancellation switch on mine is a black button with a chrome trim ring about 3/4inch in diameter, which locates it under the left hand side of the lower pod area. have to say when I first discovered this switch on Monday I thought it looked non standard, and if that,s the case, the original cancel device had broke and been replaced with an aftermarket item, as the wiring is non standard also, only two wires going to this button.., this switch does however operate the Odo cancel perfectly ok, I,m in there at the moment to replace the broken odo gear wheel.

So to summarise, it does seem to be the original feed to the odometer ?

DR

As Wally said most likely he ODO reset...and on most Euro Spec cars that connector is taped up, as the Euro Rear Foglight Switch is used in that location instead. In early US spec this connector is taped up instead of the ODO Reset switch, hence the reason for 2 of those connectors, one of which is not typically used.

The "Euro" ODO reset is then operated by a small push button switch UNDER the left side of the pod, similar to the Intensive Washer Switch (if equipped) on the right side under the Pod.

..., spot on DR , the intensive wash is an identical button, guess the mystery is solved, at least now I don,t have to look for any stray connection point, just waiting for my odo gear wheel from Roger and hopefully I,ll be up and running .
