Title: silver elec box under centre of dash, tj
Post by: paulesc on April 13, 2012, 12:29:12 PM: I've just noticed an unconnected plug with an orange and a black wire. It seems to come from a metal box with electrics. Should this be connected and what's the silver box for ? :die:

Post by: Jonny Jeep on April 15, 2012, 07:44:01 PM: I put A/C / Heater as you will have one or the other. The plug is shown in the wiring diagrams for both heaters. Can't remember what years FSM I checked though.
