Default I am going to get roasted for asking

Home for lunch and noticed this connector not plugged in. I honestly have searched here (and Rave) and even googled I just cant figure out the wording for a search either. It is right next to the battery in front of the radiator.

There's not a female connector just to the right of your thumb in the pic? I'd have to go pop my hood to look, but in your pic it looked like an open connector on the right.

That's for a temperature sensor on the radiator. If you don't have SAI it isn't used. I read somewhere that it tells the SAI whether to kick in when you restart. Mine doesn't have SAI so I have that same connector unplugged just like yours. There is a bracket that holds it to a radiator bolt but if anyone has ever changed the radiator they probably just left it dangling.

UNDER a head bolt... That confuses me. Eek. Might not be what I thought it was. There is a cam position sensor just under or over the water pump. The connector I'm thinking of is this one, which sits close to the battery tray.

The female part looks to be just to the right of my thumb (as mentioned by Jamieb)
I did not mean head bolt as in bolts that secure the heads. I thought that was a common name. I have to stop watching so many AB videos.

Looking at your picture and my picture, I think they could have babies. When I looked at it earlier I was looking on a phone and couldn't enlarge it, so I just went on the location. Yours may be the other end of my empty one; you do have SAI, so I would look for a wire coming out of the bottom passenger side of the main radiator.


You wouldn't believe what I have been caught calling things, rather than their real names. I don't own a single spanner... I think baby doctors use those.

That would be cool. I don't think so but give it a shot!

Looks like a wire that should plug into that empty one that is the Efan? First I was gonna say one of the horn wires, but that empty plug has me wondering.....
