Anybody know what this 3 pronged connector does?


Sorry for the bad pic here.


If I can't find where it goes, I guess I'll just tie it up. There's no voltage on any pin, ign off or on.

I have the same connector tucked up above the wiper timer. Everything in my XJ works except the cruise control, and this is not part of the cruise control. I couldn't find it in any of the wiring diagrams, but I did see this emissions maintenance timer for sale with the pig tale cut, which has black, grey, and orange wires. I thought I plugged mine back in, but perhaps the last time I put it all back together this was overlooked.

Note from DJ

If the wire colors of your wires are yellow, white and black; this connector was designed to hook up to the power mirrors.

They're Red, Black & Gray. Thanks guys, I'll just tuck it up out of the way and forget about it.
