And have not removed my old battery cables yet either.
Everything is just ziptied out of the way at the moment. LOL.
So if I have an unused connector like that on mine I am not aware of it yet.

Hmm, ok. I will have to keep digging. Thanks for the assist

Fog light connector?

Assuming they are the same, my 97 has a similar looking connector next to and just below the battery, that is connected to another harness that passes thru the front bulkhead to the headlight area. Unless what i am seeing is the small connector for the headlights, but i dont remember it being that close to the battery.

I poured through every pinout in the hard copy of my '01 FSM.
I think it is the AC high pressure switch connector.

Gives me a direction at least. I will comb over the AC system and look for a connection! Thanks!

In the circle.
I did not disconnect it but mine looks blue, not yellow like yours, and is why I discounted it in the beginning of this mess. LOL.

EDIT: That is not mine, but looks like mine, and is just a shot I grabbed off the internet and cirlced the switch with Paint.

The connector on the back of the compressor? I thought that was only a 2 pin connector? White and round. My 97 is different, then.

I took a closer look, and stand corrected. What i found is for the battery temp sensor. The wires leading to it were hidden under the main harness, and go under the battery tray. Yours must be a 98 and up thing then, because my 97 doesnt have any other connector in that area that match.

Looks like Ralph figured it out. Definitely a different connector than my 97, which is factory. Learned something new today.
