Anyone know what plug is for?

I don't see anything resembling a connector like that near the washer bottle reservoir area on my US VDP.
I've read that some European models had an under-hood (bonnet) light,.........and/or a hood (bonnet) unlatched warning switch?????
Wondering if it could be a wiring harness connector for one of those, but the actual item not fitted to your model?

In the past I have found that a faulty relay can make the windshield wiper do all sorts of crazy things. I had it happen to me on a Chrysler I owned, took me forever to figure out the problem, swapped the wiper relay and everything was fine!

I noticed that you mentioned your wiper has a mind of its own. I experienced the same problem in the past. Driving down the road, the wiper would randomly swipe all by itself. Not always, but once in a while. I replaced the relays, to no avail. In my case, it ended up being the body processor module behind the glove box. I didn't know that at the time, but the little red security light by the gear selector would sometime glow dimly. I knew it had to be a short someplace. Long story short, I ended up replacing the BPM, and the glowing light problem went away. I was happy to find that the wiper issue also went away. That's been a couple years ago I suppose, and I am confident that the wiper issue was solved by the BPM replacement. You have to be careful to get the right one, but they are available.

I will check out the BPM, but is the only way to find out to buy a New one and replace it?

Hi. I tried switching the two wiper relays in front, but that didn't work. (As I understand these are the two black relays alone in the left front of the engine compartment?)
