Mystery Electrical Connector

[spyderfish]

ST Folks,

2013 STS, during an oil change I noticed an electrical connector hanging down near the oil drain plug, near the floorboard. I can only see the end of the connector, it appears to be plugged, I don't believe it was ever connected on the STS. I cannot see the colors of the wires, but I believe it is 2 conductors.

I have looked at the schematic and have not been able identify what this connector is for.

Anyone have information about this, thanx in advance.

I think, this might be where the service teck plugs into to get info from the cycle ...

If it's possible to take / post a photo it may help someone diagnose what the plug is...

Just check to see if it's got a protective plug/end-cap in there; if it has, then that particular plug is not one you need to lose any sleep over: it's either there for something on another model; it's for a non-fitted option; or as youngers suggested, it's where the tech can plug in a diagnostic device (altho I thought they were up frontnon top of the frunk under the RHS panel below the headlights! :dontknow: )

Regardless, it's either plugged or it's open, generally easy enough to see the difference; & if it's open there'll be a mating plug nearby.... if it's not open, see the comments above! :thumbup:

Nope. The BUDS connection is on the right side, beneath the panel that covers the coolant tank.

Since the main harness on a ST is the same as a RT. There are a lot of orphan electrical connectors. If you wish to see a whole bunch of them. Take off the tail pan panel, just above the rear tire. There are a whole bunch in there. Looks like all the wiring for air suspension is there. Yet that is not an option for a ST.

If the connector you found is capped don't worry about it. If you want to use it for something. Take some pictures and post them. Someone can identify it for you.
