Another 'What's this?'

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

The title says it all. Red connector spotted behind the blower control switch.

ok that link doesnt get us anywhere..... :rofl:

if its thin and has either 4 or 6 in line female sockets for connector pins it is the connector from the loom to the auxiliary guages . Even if you dont have the guages you still have the connector.

Apologies...that was checked and working my end.
Yes...it's red and has 4 female connections. Will that mean that they are connected to something at the other end?
I.e. if i get a set of auxillary guages and connect them they'll work?
Thanks Jim

The voltmeter will work properly but the oil pressure gauge requires a sensor to be installed and connected.
