Replacing my headlights last night, i discovered this plug that was capped behind the drivers side headlight. Anyone know what it is?

Sorry the pics bad, was dark outside and couldnt get the camera close to it.

 

flux capacitor hook up


or the OBDII hookup for checking blinker fluid levels

 

im gonna guess its the plug for the outside temp sensor?

 

hmmm... well its just laying there... lol

 

It could be but I don't remember seeing a plug like that when I replaced my headlights.

 

fog lights? or do you already have them?

 

dude... def not the flux cap connection. thats behind the fuse box.
but it does looks like the OBDII BFLR (Blinker Fluid Level Reader for all u nubs). good thing u brought it up tho bc the blinker fluid NEEDS to be replaced for sure if the headlights were replaced. i get mine from http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main...&products_id=6 usually but it looks like there sold out.

 

keep your bullshit posts out of this thread before i start reporting them. Directed towards potato and brick

Fog lights i have also, it looks like the plug is capped, like its not currently bein used.

 

lighten up




my say of saying:

"WTF is that?"

 

Its for the outside temp sensor. The sensor it plugs into is behind the inside of the driver side headlight mount. You will see it poking out a little.

 

sorry i made funny on the interwebz. its such a horrible place to post light hearted comments that hurt no one and have potential to put a smile on at least someones face... i feel ashamed...



but down ta bidness...
i wouldve guessed fogs. any accessories that u dont have? do u have a service manual or can u look up a wiring diagram? if its capped then it prob isnt being used. u would be surprised how many cars have extra plugs laying around lol. really. i bet if u really wanna look ull find another 1-2 somewhere. im sure its not anything to worry about.

 

^^Yeap. Most likely is for the temp sensor

 

i went out and looked and dont see anywhere for it to go into

 

......uhhh....... where does it lead to because i've taken out my headlights a lot and don't remember seeing anything like that

 

its bundled with the other wires going to the headlight

 

It's not part of the Headlight unit itself, it's in the black holder bracket. And yes it's the outside air temp sensor.

 

It is hooked up in the picture you posted. The green and blue part is the connector. The gray part is the sensor.

 

NOOOOO!!!!!!! Potato and brick, you've ruined me!!!! I just went out and spent my life savings on blinker fluid, only to find out that you were *gasp* JOKING!!!!

 

That pic of that connector make's it look weird, but that connector is actually L shaped. That connector is going into the black/grey area of the pic, and from that angle its hard to see. If you really want to see it, pull the headlight out, then undo the black bracket holder and you will see it easily.

 

ok so it is hooked up but it looks like its supposed to go somewhere, not just dangle there lol

 

There should be a hole in the bracket. Best way to find/see it is to take the whole unit out.

 

toldu thats what it is lol...

 

.... i do it another day, this car has been pissing me off all week. Belt, belt tensioner, headlight,s flex pipe cracked, now this

 

is there like a little nub sticking off? its hard to explain it exactly but a lot of times on sensors/wire bundles there will be a little plactic nub maybe 1/8-1/4" long that pretty much just sticks in a hole.

haha. thats kinda funny, i had to change my sisters serp belt today and i got a wrench stuck on the tensioner. hahaha. took me like 1.5 hrs to get it off. i cussed a lot but thats how it always seems to go. take it out tonight and run the **** outa it.. itll make u feel better

 

Matts right. that little nub on it is the end you stick into the frame (or w/e sheetmetal is called around the headlight area) to hold it in place. Its plastic, and look like it broke off on yours (looks like a plastic flower now..the underside from the pic you posted)
