Unhappy Spare connector / Wire after fitting new NS headlight bulb

I recently fitted a new NS dipped headlight bulb , this involved removal of the battery and battery box. Having completed the fitting of the headlight bulb and replacing the battery and box I found a loose wire with connector attached.

I believe the wire to be lightweight and two wires green and black with a connector with a profile similar to that of an arched doorway (female). The wire appears to appear from the rear lower area behind the battery box and is about 6 to 8 inches in length which limits the number of places that it can connect to which having used the limit that the wire allows I cannot find a suitable place to reconnect it to any componants under the bonnet. The only place that I have not looked is in the area below the refitted battery box.

All the instruments / lights are working normally so this could mean that it maybe a low level sensor or similar monitor connector !!

Ideas anyone????

"Shropshire is a county in the West Midlands region of England. It borders Wales to the west, Cheshire to the north, Staffordshire to the east, Worcestershire to the south-east and Herefordshire to the south."


Llangolger - Any chance of you restating the question in English?

Forgive me, man... but do they put something in the water there, or what?

Luv ya man - YOU guys built these beasts. Don't read me wrong here.

But: What the hell did you just ask/say?

That connector was used when the car was new and being shipped from the factory. It connects to nothing now. Nothing to worry about.

Your post is understandable, no need to explain.
