Hi,

I found this yellow connector under the trunk fuse box. I have a 3.2 99'. What is the purpose?

Thank you

 

According to my wiring diagrams, the only connector in that specific location which may be free & unconnected to anything is for the cellular telephone (fixed) module. I'm not sure if this was an option on a '99 3.2 model...

 

Hi
It looks like the Trailer wiring connector: BT32 14 way multilock 070 Yellow connector
All the wires in this connector go to the various functions of a trailer hookup (stop lamps, RH & LH trailer lamps, etc).

Here is a JPEG of the Wiring Guide Diagram and other info:

Yep, my mistake-definately trailer connector as jimlombardi says, after re-reading my circuit diagrams-this time with my glasses on

 

Thank you very much Jim. I have one more question: my rear fog lamps are not working (I checked the bulbs and swicth). Since the trailer conector has rear fog lamps, how can I test using a voltimeter if there is electricity? I have the voltimeter but I have never used it to test a conector. Where must I put the red and black wire from the voltimeter?

Thank you for your help!

 

Hi
I noticed in the 2000 Drivers Handbook that the fog light can only be operated by following:

Fog Lamps


only works with the .sidelights. or .headlamps. switched ON.

When the sidelights are switched OFF, the fog lamps will automatically be cancelled.

If the sidelights switch is left ON when the ignition switch is turned to position .0., the fog lamps will switch OFF until the ignition switch is returned to position .ll..

Are you also having a problem with the stop lights and reverse light (backup lights)? If so, you should check fuse #1 (10 amp) in the Trunk Fusebox.

 

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your writting. However I have tried all the possibilities and no result.

Reverse and all braking lights work fine. Fuse is O.K. too.

That is the reason why I would like to use my voltimeter to check if there is power, but I don't know how to use the red and black conectors. Can you help me , please? I would like to check the trailer conector which has rear fog lamps outputs,

Thank you!

 

The Trailer Connector pins for fog lights has an orange wire with green striping that comes from the SLCM (Security and Locking Control Module).

The other Trailer Connector pin for fog lights has an orange wire with black striping that goes to the Fog Lights in the rear trail lamps, then continues to the ground.

I think you should a test circuit lamp and it probably does not matter which pin is tested with the red or black test connector. You just want to see if there is power coming from the connector.
