I traced a short on the IOD fuse to a connector on the junction box. Can anyone please help ID the connector? I only have haynes book and it doesn't have enough info. Connector in yellow?
Thanks for the replies! The good/bad news is the short circuit seems to have "healed". My theory is water getting in somewhere near liftgate that causes a short because of water pooled around the liftgate striker plate (learned a new term there!). Then when it dries out the short is gone! With an ohm meter the resistance went from ~90 ohms to around 500 overnight. I didn't do anything. The FSM says 24mA draw when car is off which is around 500 ohms @ 12V. Time to get the hose out I guess? Water pooled in area shown in blue.
