mystery plugs game?

Post by patriceboivin »

I was wondering, if I post pictures of unused connectors and plugs I find, if someone might be willing to guess what they might have been for?

Mitsu probably installed the full wiring harness and only connected what customers purchased.

I am pretty sure I haven't found them all, I haven't lifted the van yet to look at the bottom of the engine bay and behind the front grille.

It might be interesting to see if other people find the same unused plugs or if they have some with different wire colours.

Did you find unused plugs and connectors in your L400?

Plugged in my new-to-me gauge pod where I had a little compartment. I knew there would be a plug there behind the stereo and...it worked!!! Well, the voltmeter anyways, but that means there's power there!

Mystery plugs...Well not so mysterious!

The L400 sometimes have a dual switch for the accessory lights.

The main power switch is the 6-contact unit you photographed. There is power for the lights amd power for the small indicator bulb that comes on with the dash lights.

The second 2-wire switch in my Deli acts on a relay and allows me to switch between 2 sets of grill guard lights. This switch doesn't light up at all.
