Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion · Original poster
I was replacing the pollen filter on my 2001 996 Carrera the other day (and I removed the wrong side of the cowling first) and discovered this connector near the battery (on the right hand side of the car) but it doesn't appear to have anything to connect too and I certainly didn't disconnect it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was replacing the pollen filter on my 2001 996 Carrera the other day (and I removed the wrong side of the cowling first) and discovered this connector near the battery (on the right hand side of the car) but it doesn't appear to have anything to connect too and I certainly didn't disconnect it. Does anyone know what it is for and its purpose and what it is supposed to connect too? Any help would be appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Looks like it's for the alarm horn. What colors are the wires?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

not sure, I will have to go take a look and let you know.

POST 4Original post

The alarm horn uses a brown and a black/yellow stripe on a fairly wide connector. The alarm horn is mounted on the brake booster bracket inside the cowl on LHD cars, so I presume it's in a comparable place for RHD cars.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
