Will be fitting a obc soon, looking at the loom that runs into the engine bay it had 3a plugs on it.

One for the temp sensor and another for the horn, then there's a third one near the grommet with a brown/green and brown wired plug, where is this meant to go?

There's a similar one the other side of the bulkhead, which has the same brown/green with a red/white. Nothing goes into it, and I've no idea what it was for, other than what went into one controlled whatever went into the other.

I don't have the loom next to me, from memory, the wires went to a small 2 pin plug that was tapped to the loom inside the car which didn't look used. I don't recall the red/white but will have another look tomorrow.

Safe to say that plug goes nowhere them and doesn't plug into anything?

On the topic of obc, is the horn different to the pair my touring has above the fog lights? I seem to remember reading about a third horn with a cover for the obc, is it needed?
