what is this connector for (harness passenger fender) ?

[fenixus]

Hi there.

recently replaced my crippled engine bay harness and installed all devices, all works great... but i ended up having one extra connector i passenger fender that i have nowhere to plug in (am I missing some device in here?).

car is a 6cyl 1mz-fe with automatic tranny, calif specs.



it seems my harness has one more connector for something in either ABS area (doubt it, it barely reaches this side) or in washer tank area.

it's very small, 2 wires only, IIRC green-red and black-white or something between those lines. any idea where it goes ?
i'm sure i'm missing something ... wondering what ...

this is the list of things connected in passenger fender (what else might there be which i don't have?) :
-ABS sensor
-washer motor
-washer sensor
-corner light
-fog light

thanks for ideas.

i got that one connected already (it's for automatic a/c and it works fine), sensor is located under the reinforcement bar in bumper (passenger side) ... i'm as confused as you are man ...
have no idea what THIS one is for ...

the only trouble code i've got is related to ABS speed sensor in left front wheel, related ?

best thing that i have absolutely no car ECU error codes (CEL) and all devices appear to be working fine ... what am i missing here ?

That's a very good possibility. IIRC, that's what mine looks like. I'll look at it more closely when I get a chance later. In my case (97 Camry) the wires for it are not part of the main engine harness, and they independently run all the way back to the firewall grommet for the main harness and pass through a slit in the grommet and into the cab. The wire pair on the connector is wrapped in that hard plastic "tube" like stuff for most of the run.

huh! you got me puzzled now. so there is another sensor in passenger fender ?

but this connector of mine is a part of main engine bay/room harness (not the engine harness) ... meaning it's hanging off from the harness connecting ABS actuator, ABS speed sensor FR wheel, ALT, AC clutch and drier receiver, washer tank motor and sensor, fog/corner/headlights, fans and fuse boxes together.

Its for Rodent Detection!

What about the wire colors? Can you trace them back on the Schizzzzzzmatic?

IIRC the wire colors were red-green (or green-red) and white-black (ground).
I cannot trace them on schematics, because that thing is divided into sections and I have no idea into which category this plug (lighting, a/c, abs, washer, etc.) falls into

Sounds to me like you got some reading to do. I personally would just look through every schematic to find it... I know it sucks, but no one seems to know haha

haha, i noticed
it will be another PITA thing to locate in schematics ... it will take a couple evenings to find that hehe...

I also emailed dealer, maybe they will know faster what that is for.

updating for continuity of thread.

mystery solved, it was a part of factory car alarm system:
wire harness replacement / where is p/n sticker on harness ?

haven't tested yet if this is it, because I still need to order a buzzer.
