Looks like the wires used to read or clear ECU codes, but mine don't have the plastic thingy. I don't recognize where this pic was taken. Would help if I knew the location of the wires.

Looks like the trunk, passenger side, behind the wheel. No idea what the connector does though.

I think you are right. That explains the water line. :o

Connector Loaction
 
Crazy_Pilot is correct.

I reasoned that if the location wasn't recognized, the function wouldn't be known.

Telephone
 
What year is it. Some of the newer models have a posibility of a cell phone hookup. I'm not sure, but that may be the connector for a cellular phone antenna.

Year
 
It's in both my 92s. I'll check the 96 this weekend.

I assumed as much, and that makes sense, and as obvious as the placement should be (:o ) letting us know outright could help with investigation. :)

I have to say I like the cell/car phone idea.

Mine is dark teal on the inside there so I have an excuse. :rolleyes:

Telephone
 
etz bseder is correct, or at least close.

In the manual this appears to be connector R74, Telephone (OP)

Now, what could we do with that?

Yeah it's for a phone, back in the old days, when they were the size of a Toaster Oven :rolleyes:

IIRC it provides a constant +, switched + and a ground.

There are 4 wires, but I haven't looked at the wiring diagrams to see if they're listed.
