There is a plug that looks like a diagnostic plug just behind the left hand headlight on a Corsa B 1.2 16v 2000 reg. Could someone let me know what its used for. Thanks

I haven't at the moment but I'll try and get one. The socket is on a bracket pointing upwards and is grey with a dust cover on to keep the connections clean. I messed around with it by shorting a couple of the pins out and the cooling fan came on

I'm guessing something to do with the thermostat then?

could be a plug for a higher spec one with aircon?

Get a pic up asap, it sounds familiar.

bingo, we have a winner! its one of the plug connections from the a/c pump to start the fan when the a/c system is running. my bro has this socket and it boggled me for a little while until i went through the wiring diagram for it.

Its really weird how vauxhall have mounted it to look like some kind of diagnostic socket
Thanks for clearing that up though, I'll sleep easier tonight :thumbs_up:
