Noticed Plug Disconnected In Boot..

[Cashie]

It was on the RHS rear corner behind the jack, I also found two sockets under the trim the plug fits into one sockets so I plugged it in. Is this for the towpack? I can only assume it is.

Wonder why it was left disconnected by the factory.

Anyone else notice the same?

Is this them?

At a guess, I'd say the lower one with the heavier cable goes to the trailer wiring and the upper one is used for the reverse sensing system....but that's just a guess. Which did you plug in? What did you plug into it?

Yeah that's them Dave, thanks for the photo.

I plugged it into the larger guage one.

It was the only one it would fit into.

The cable comes in through the grommit visible in your photo, I am almost certain it is the trailer wiring. Strange they left it disconnected.

I agree the other one is probably for the reversing sensing system.

Just had a guy put a towbar on for me.

One of the connectors is for the trailer-light connector (the straight line thing with the middle pin raised higher than the others, if you've got a trailer you'll know what I mean)

The other is apparently for the (optional) reverse sensors, needs to be disconnected to take the bumper off etc.

HTH.
