I have some mystery wires under the centre console of my Griffith 500

Two connectors have an orange wire and a black wire. The black is earth. I have no idea where the orange goes to -they are common to each other.
The third, three way plug has black/red (appears at the alarm plug but not the door limit switches), green/black and black (earth)

Any ideas what they may be for?
Bonus points will be awarded for telling me how to get the pins out of the socket. smile
Thanks in advance..
Dave

Good call.
I thought that but the wiring diagram in the bible suggests they should be white/black wires.
Is there a control box of some sort if they're fitted?

Have you checked to see if it gets power when you press the heater control knobs?

Heated seat wires are black and orange on my griff. If your car doesn't have them fitted then the relay probably isn't fitted either so they won't do anything. The 3 way connector is most likely for the microwave sensor for the alarm.

Cloaking device ? to avoid those embarrassing moments when seen out in your Griff by Chimp drivers.

Sorry about that but on a more serious note, Christmas tree lights ? (Tis the season to be jolly).

I'll get back to the chimp forum now.
