Default Connector Identification?
Can anyone identify this connector, i.e. what it is powering/controlling? It's the one that is perched on top of the passemger side pollen filter housing. I was changing my trunk shocks, and the top of the female side of the connector popped off without me noticing. I knocked the connector with my elbow, and each and every female terminal jumped out of the connector.......and the connector housing dropped down in the depths of the filter housing area....

So - I retreived the connector housing, and have reinserted the terminals back into the housing in the order that I *think* they go - the length of the wires pretty much dictates were they wind up. However - before I reconnect and apply power to it - I'd love to know what I might be letting the smoke out of. And of course - I can then locate it on the wiring diagram and check color codes...

Any help would...as usual....be appreciated.

It doesn't really look like it could go back together in the wrong orientation. It LOOKS like a power connector under the seats though.

There is a male 'outy' that mates with a female 'inny' that wont allow you to reconnect it 180 out. No worries.

It sure does look like the power seat connector. Does your car have the trunk seat option?

Sorry guys for not being clear. This connector is under the front hood, and mounts on top of the passenger side pollen filter housing. Both the male and female sides of the connectoer can be split open horizontially - basically just a press fit with a plastic clasp on the sides. When I seperated the male/female sides of the connector, I must have lossened the top section of the female side. I snapped a pic of all the terminals popped out to the lower portion of the connector housing. I have since reassembled the female portion of the connector based on this pic - hope it works!

BTW - the red is 12vdc, guess how I know
