Hi I wonder if anyone can help me.I have just retro fitted a 13 button OBC and have a few spare wires and connectors!!!!
The first is a yellow wired single pin connector which is close to the actual computer until in the dash and the next is a 2 wired connector which is brown and green and brown(it's a 2 pin plug female type thing!!) and is located on the obc wiring loom in the engine bay and is close to the fuse box.
Everything seems to be working ok,but just wondered if anyone has any idea what these others are for?!
And lastly on the wiring front I have picked up some heated washer jets.Can anyone tell me where the electrical wiring plugs into?
Many thanks and great site!

the heated jets have a loom which piggybacks off the pump wiring so that they heat when you squirt them. think ive got the loom somewhere if you need one.
No longer self employed but still available for welding duties.

yellow connector doesnt connect to anything, with the other one is it a black plug? i didnt connect up my alarm siren or anything, but if you did the rest should just connect to the c1 plug under the dash,

its a junction where all connections meet under the glovebox, its a white square looking connector, the remaining obc wires should simply plug into their own slot,
