Good after noon from sunny downtown Dublin
could you please identify were these plugs should go
or what are they for (see photo)

[kevtherev]

they go together

[LeeME3]

To each other...!

[ladybird]

what do they do when they go togethar
what do they do when pulled apart
will i blow up if i plug them in
the suspense is..........

[LeeME3]

When together they allow current to flow, when apart they don't.

Never say never but I'm fairly sure you'll not blow anything up by putting back to their rightful condition (that which VW hath joined let no man tear asunder). Altho, as with most things electrical on a vehcile, prob best to make sure engine is off and key out of ignition before making the sparks fly!

[ladybird]

so current flow

would the engine start whilst these are unplugged

[ladybird]

can anyone explain this current flow thing
and what does it do plugged in
and what does it do plugged out
is it really necessary
sorry but im only learning about these things

[kevtherev]

it depends what it's connected to....

but you didn't show that..

and were not physic..

it might not even be something VW put there.. these vans are old ..things happen

currants occur in buns
current is the flow of electrons from a + ve potential to a - ve through a conductive medium
Electric charge flows when there is voltage present across a conductor.

so what do i need to photograph...to show you

what opposite end of each connector is attached to

You need to look at the downloadable manual in members Only and/or buy a Haynes, posting riddles will eventually lose it's mysteriously challenging draw ... even for Kev

[ladybird]

my computer is so slow it takes to long to open pages
especially when you dont know what your looking for
and as the picture shows you( above)
male and female plugs and
kev said they plug into each other
i thought some one might know
surely there cant be that many plugs like that on a van

[Ian Hulley]

I don't have injection on my DJ or I could tell you in a split second .... perhaps Martin Red Westie or Aidan will come along.

[ladybird]

thanks hulley
