Mystery Wire In 2002 XK8 Trunk
I was changing the battery in my 2002 XK8 and saw this green and white wire in a black cover loose.
It does appear it has been pulled off from somewhere but for the life of me I can not see where.
I assume it it was a dormant wire to end would not be bare.
Anyone?

When Jaguars are shipped there is a battery isolater installed once it arrives at the dealer the isolater is remove and return to the factory. Leaving an empty plug.
You can also check it for 12 volts to ground. There is an extra plugs in the X308's boot for powering accessories but I am not sure there was ever one in the XK's

Ken the car is mint and not screwed around with. The black cable is the connection to battery tender that I use on cars that I do not drive a lot.
The wire is very thin so can not be for anything that draws reasonable power.
I am going to pull off the covers in that area and see what I can find. Everything seems to work OK and no error codes.
Thank you all for your suggestions.
