I've looking for the connector for the ECU in the footwell.
I can't see anything that resembles a 9 pin DE socket so guess I have the other sort.

Can someone tell me exactly where the connector is and what it might look like.

Thanks

Mike

Did you remove the ECU cover? If you have and its not there, then you obviously have a different type of connector, some Cerb's do apparently, and I'm sure I've seen someone like Clever Trevor advertising a different type of lead for these ones.

Yes remove the cover of the ecu. It is in the middle.

Hi,

I'm obviously not too familiar with this. What does the cover look like ?
Where exactly should I be looking ?

There would possibly a three pin connector, these were fitted on the later Cerb's I think, they are the same connection as the rear light plug so if you look at that you will then know what to look out for.

In the passenger footwell, lift the floor carpet out of the way, and tug the bottom of the carpet covered rigid cover out. The ECU is behind there, an alloy box about 8"x8". Undo the 4 Allen head screws and you will see the ECU connection.

it looks like this - although mine has a hole with a lead permanently attached
