Hi all,

I've recently been faffing around with my dash and have some sensors that I have no idea what they are and what they do. They were not plugged into anything before but my dash has been out before so may have been left out before..

The car is a V4 STi Type R. The dash is from a V Limited Type R (non STi I think).

The first one is behind the OE gauge cluster and is this:




The next one is on the passenger side and was behind the glovebox. It is a small sensor on the end of a wire that connects to a plug (I think, it was just tucked up behind the dash) as shown below. The other end goes up behind the dash somewhere. Poor picture.. sorry..



Connected to the clip at the bottom left in this pic and then goes up behind the dash...



The last thing I found was this connector bolted behind the nut in the pic below. It wasn't connected to anything so I removed it.. Any ideas if this is supposed to do something?



This is the nut it was connected to, all behind the glove box.



Any help hugely appreciated.

Many thanks

Last one looks like a bodged earth connector. Did it have an amp, bass unit etc?

 

The previous owner had some subs etc... There wasn't anything connected so I removed it. I presume that is not a problem. Makes sense, much appreciated.

Any ideas on the other two?

 

Has the car got an 'Auto' setting on the fan speed switch?

 

Yes... could that have something to do with the small sensor?

 

first 1 is the air temp sensor for the heater/aircon, the others sorry don't know

 

Huge thanks fella ..

Is it supposed to be located/attached to anything behind the instrument cluster or should it just be left floating so to speak?

Anybody with any idea on the middle one (apologies fot the blurry pic)? I thought maybe it is supposed to connect to the long thin piece on dash that fits on top of the dash by the windscreen, there is a small hole in that which it fits into.... another temperature sensor of some sort? Any idea what it does?
