What is this wire

Post by JD406 »

Hi

Ive took the door cards off the doors in my 02 D9 rapier an there seems to be a wire that is not attached to anything. Its the white 2 pin plug in the picture. Could anyone tell me what this is for??

Yes, puddle lights would be my guess. As you get to know your 406 better, you'll find all sorts of spare wires and plugs all over the car. They are for extras not fitted, or part of a common loom made for different engine and trim combinations.
