[Crossy_014]

[Crossy_014]

nah sorry cant mate coz my phone is ******

That wiring in the boot drivers side is to connect another wiring harness which you buy from a holden spare parts dealer $40+ The flat wiring harness connects to a trailer (box, Boat etc. It saves you cutting into your tail light wiring and adding joiners etc to connect your own wiring . Buying the holden harness is more netter and easier.

It comes with easy instructions to connect 15 seconds

just throwin this out there but could be a harness for the cd stacker which comes factory in some of the higher model cars, not 100% sure though. just looked in my car and it has the plug aswell

If it was for a trailer it would have way more wires. My guess is it's for the electric boot release actuator.
Spoiler maybe or do you have one?

[dbarnes]

my equipe has it too, im guessing its for a spoiler? but why would they put in there though if no equipes had spoilers.....

[Silver_VS_II]

mine has it when i forst saw it when i bought the car i didnt take much notice and acctually thought it was from a previous sub or amp or whatever...lol but i have no idea and i thought some equipts did have spoilers?

[dbarnes]

EQUIPE DUDE NOT EQUIPT lol..

never seen any with spoilers

im goin with mark, its for a trailer plug extension

im goin with mark, its for a trailer plug extension

definately not trailer plug extension, thats behind the right tail light.

my question is: where abouts in the boot is it?
if its on the inside of the bootlid, just behind the numberplate it'll be for the boot release.
if its in the boot, where left or right side?

[dbarnes]

its on the right side, behind the carpet

aii wiring looms are made with the maximum number of plugs/wiring that are needed regardless of the model.Plugs that arent needed are left vacant.Its a lot easier to make all looms the same than chop and change on the production line.if it has continuos power to it it will prob be for boot release that normally operates from glove box

[Crossy_014]

my brother has a VS senator with the cd stacker in the boot. i will run out and check if that plug is used for the cd stacker

[scozz76]

Probably for the light in the boot???? It can't be the boot release... think about it... if it's got constant 12volts and earth, the boot release would activate all the time.

The boot release colour codes are 'black/red' for the positive side (switched... not live). 'Black' to earth.

The 'orange/black' code seems to be consistent with the 'Interior lighting' diagrams. Same with the 'white/green'.

'Orange/black' should go to fuse no. 4, remove fuse no. 4 and check for volts between orange/black and earth - If no volts, then it's to do with interior lighting.

'White/green' should go back to the BCM.

Hello!!!!
It is definitely for the hook up for a connection for extra harness wiring to connect to a trailer etc which i have mentioned before and i have purchased the harness from genuine holden dealer. All model comms have them very convenient don't you think! As OOvxsc stated Its for trailer plug extention under the carpet rear right boot behind quarter panel near tail light.
