    Question Odd Connector

    I found this odd connector whilst installing my MUD console, in my 98 Defender, TDI. It's not plugged in to anything, has anyone got any ideas??

    What would that be used for? Is it standard LR or an addition?

    Most likely, earth terminal header. Do have RAVE? If so, the ECD for your vehicle may prompt you.

    Definately an earth header.
    There are a few throughout the vehicle. It is a standard fitment to the vehicle.
    There will be a metal bar in the plastic & the termials all connect to this.
    Then only one or two wires(nomally larger than the rest) will go to an Earth bolt somewhere.
    Cheers
