P500 What are these 2 connectors under hood?

[Tom_C]

2 connectors on the left side as looking from the front. Looks like previous owner spiced in for power to a switch block.

The red connector looks like the accessory sub harness connector. The accessory sub harness can be purchased to hook up a led light bar, winch, horn, etc. Not sure on the other connector but I will look on my P500 tonight when I get home and see if I can figure it out. BTW, it appears you have a horn that was connected by some other means than the accessory harness, not necessarily bad, but I would check to see what circuit it is spliced into and verify it is fused to a non-critical circuit.

Thanks. It looks like the prior owner installed a switch console that appears to splice into that black connector harness (poorly, I might add, I will clean that up). The switch console is 3 switches, a volt meter/USB connector, and the horn button. I *assume* it is fused, but need to run that down.

Hi Keebler, have you had an opportunity to look at those connectors? I just looked through the manual and didn't find anything about them.

I think the red one with the cap is the diagnostic connector.

Red one with cap connects to a subharness (fifteen bucks on Amazon) which will split ignition-on power four ways. I’m using mine for light bars and eventually a stereo

Red 4 pin is diagnostic connector and sub harness connector for powering accessories.

The black 2 pin looks like the factory 12volt acc. socket plug.

 

[Tom_C]

Ah ha. The prior owner had unplugged the 12v power socket to splice in a switch panel and hadn't plugged it back in.

I'll also pick up a sub harness just in case.

Thanks folks.
