mmarton Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Swapping out radios last night and I found this connection underneath the center console. Anybody know what it's for? http://www.themcdonnellgroup.com/images/stories/article_picts/scooby.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 do you have heated seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarton Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 do you have heated seats? I do have heated seats but there is no plug of any sort under the console that attaches to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecw Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Its an electrical plug. It is used to connect electrical devices to your electrical system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blicraft Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'll take a guess... Factory sub woofer harness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaMax Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 huh thats a weird one. I know thats not for the subwoofer and it's not for the heated seats. Maybe for Cigarette lighter but that plug does not look like it belongs in the cabin. Maybe someones aftermarket plug for something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarton Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Wow! I didn't think this would stump the cognoscenti of this forum. Whatever it is, it's located on the floor between the plastic panel around the shifter and the center console. No, the lighter attaches to a harness on the shifter panel. The console itself plugs into a different harness well behind this plug. I bought the car new in 2005 and haven't added any aftermarket items aside from the recently installed iSimple unit on the radio and the various hacks for opening all four doors on one click and having the front and rear interior lights come on together. I'm really curious about this plug. Maybe it's for something really cool that I can add to the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaNu1142 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sometimes I add harnesses like that before I trade a car in. They don't actually go anywhere. Generally, I just loop it around in the dash, left-to-right then right-to-left, behind the glovebox & around the vent ducts, then down along one of the door sills under the carpet and under the rear seat. At the other end, I fasten a Ziploc baggie with a note that says, "Hello." It's not a 2005 Legacy iL Wagon with an automatic tranny... is it?

ssbtech Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The G sensor for the ABS system is a three wire connector. Pull up the shifter trim (the bit wrapped in CF tape) and see if it's connected. The sensor is right where your hand is in that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look but I can't imagine how this would have become disconnected, unless it's a manufacturing flub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It comes in cars with the CF trim Package. Lol It's been a while since I've had my interior apart... Could it be for an option like nav or powered mirror?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
