Unknown connectors under dash

NolsAccord_CC1 · 05-04-2018, 08:19 AM

I noticed some unused connectors under the driver side dashboard. What are these for? I have some issues with my car so I would like to know.
Here are the photo's:

The black 8 pin plug is your fan timer switch, without it your cooling fans won't kick on. You have to drop down the cruise control unit to plug it back in. Kind of a pain in the butt.

Thx Rilas!
But last time I checked my fan did come on.
I'll look into it though.
I don't have cruise control so I guess it will be easy.

Anyone else knows what the other 2 are for?

Coupe, Sedan, Wagon? Auto, Manual? Year? SRS System (airbags)? Ill see what I can find but I need all that info. I have it narrowed down to a couple connectors. Give me the exact number of pins on each connector (number of wires as well). A better description or picture of the connector location with a known connector reference.

They are all located under the steering column where the dashboard ends (towards the pedals)

Thanks Rilas! The black connector is indeed the cooling fan control, but i can't find the timer unit on my car. Is it near the fusebox? Is this timer unit for AC? My car doesn't have A/C.

When i bought the car the gauge cluster was broken and the temp gauge was constant in red. The PCB was Burnt and the red wire on the thermostat was loose and made contact with the transmission. That's probably why it burnt. Maybe the timer unit got damaged too and someone took it out.

The cooling fan control box is missing on CBs that didn't come with AC from factory, they just have the empty plug. Radiator fan works without this box, however to get the AC to kick on your fans you need this box.
