Mmmmm - if it's been disconnected, you might find you have issues with high revs once you join it back together?!

let us know.

it's for the aircon that's not fitted, it's usually cable tied to the loom just below the ignition amplifier
the two that join together for the idle control are to the right of it above the tstat housing
