What is this random wire?

Postby TomM » Sat Apr 14, 2007 1:47 pm

Ok, so maybe not a 'problem' as such, but I was cleaning my car today, so extensively that I took the carpet up in the boot and found a strange wire...

I've no idea what it is for, do you know? Its just two wires with a small connector...

Image


Can anybody shed any light on this? Something for rear parking sensors maybe? Or for an amp or sub?

Oh and to share the prettiness of my car after a clean and a good layer of wax... Hehe!

Thanks!

Tom.

I think its the pre-wiring for the keyless entry rear antenna or something? I'm assuming your car doesn't have keyless entry... I'm sure there is an attenna back there for one if the car does have it, I'm not sure!

No I don't have handsfree entry, but would the antenna be in the floor of the boot? Surely it would make more sense for it to be in the roof? Then again... it is a Renault! lol.

As you say it's a Renault so the antenna is liekly to end up in the middle lane of the M25 when it falls off one day :twisted:

That is the wiring rear aerial for the keyless start. There should be one in the centre console somewhere I think.

Could it be the wiring for heated seats?
