Zeds have central wiring looms at various points to allow a kind of plug and play system where if some some extra like cruise control is fitted all the connecting wiring is there.

Wiring quite thick looking so something heavier power like the secondary air pump ( smog pump) or something like that.

Yeah. My car is the poor man's spec. No options at all. So many unused cables and plugs hanging everywhere. I gave up wondering what they all do. Everything (which isn't much) works as it should and I just make sure the loose plugs are tied up out of the way.

I've found that connector plugged into the big aircon fan up front. It's a big fan that draws alot of power so makes sense seeing the thickness of the wires.

That makes sense as I dont have aircon - presumably prewired in the build

My car was a very good spec and I have still lost count of the number of unused connectors I've come across during my build.
