Hi guys noticed the black plug with no wires going to it...hhhmmm whats it for and where does it lead to? Thanks for the help

looks like its for the power steering pump!! same happened to mine! just put some crimps on the end of the wires and connected it to the pump.

As above ^

you can remake those plugs no need to use crimps , all are trucks are on these for the side marker lights we are always changing them round as thet do just like that in the pic

My power steering works fine though?

 

[yellonvi-R]

Also i'm guessing the wires that should be connected to that plug are inside that black wire protector thats loose infront of it?

Mine is the same lol

the pump works off the aux belt! the wires i think are for a pressure sensor (someone correct me if im wrong). yes the wires will be in the black protector

 

[chris_200120vt]

aircon ????

 

[andycupra]

as i understand it the pressure sensor will increase idle when the power steering it under strain?
so it will work ok normally but you may be increasing strain on the system when parking/steering when stationary on idle?

although i cant see the pic...

Its supposed to make the noise after switching off, its pumping coolant round the turbo

 

[tom w]

The secondary pump is under the slam panel not down there !
