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.

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 removed my center console to repaint it and found a wire the has a clamp attached to the right side of the e brake base. The wire was not plugged into anything but has a connector making it look like it is unplugged. I have a 2000 Cab with tiptronic. I searched for a diagram but could not locate, I maybe using the wrong key words. Anyone know what it is for? It is not for the windows and is not the plug for the ashtray light. I cannot see what it would connect too. The e brake light works as should and the top functions as it should so I do not think it is part of that. My only thought is that is where the rear defrost would plug into (if I had one) and since I do not have a defrost with the plastic window is why it is not connected. Any thoughts?

POST 2Original post

I think that plugs into the cubby latch to tell the alarm system if someone's breaking in.

POST 3Original post

Yes - attaches to microswitch for latch. can see it attached here (view from e-brake side): more clear view of where it plugs in underneath (looking down center console):

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you guys, thats it. 3 pins and all. I would have forgot to hook that up.
