Anyone know what this is for? (2.6 V6 Elite). It joins the cable by the front shock mounting.  Looking at the corrosion on the connections it doesn't seem to have been plugged in for a long time.

Looks like power sounder?

Is the coolant level sensor plugged in looks a bit long to be the power sounder what colour are the wires? Cross reference them with Mr Haynes and it should tell you

[Webby the Bear]

yeah I think that looks like coolant level sensor too

[Big_Al]

Bonnet switch IMO .. Seems the switch is not there 

It sits between the coolant tank & the brake fluid reservoir  usually on F/Lifts

Its not the power sounder I removed that,  blanked off the plug and tucked it away. The flexi conduit has a green stripe on it, the two wires are both brown one with a green stripe.  I can't see anywhere it could plug in.

Here is where the mystery cable joins the other cable, the smooth round silver hump is the top of the o/s shock mount.


I can't locate a water level sensor connected to the expansion tank is this it in the middle of this pic?
If so it is connected.

Do you mean the bonnet alarm spring switch, that is on the other side but I will check it is cabled later.

The later 2.6 & 3.2 cars I've seen under the bonnet of, have, for some unknown reason, had a 'spare' bonnet switch plug on the passenger side of the car & the actual alarm bonnet switch on the driver's side.

The header tank float wiring is obvious if you lift the header tank up out of the way (just a spring clip on the wing side of the tank)

Can't see the coolant level plug in that pic. The sensor is directly beneath the cap

Right I have lifted the expansion tank and there is a connection under it (well hidden!), all plugged in so it's not that.  Checked the bonnet alarm switch (on passenger side)  that has a connector all plugged in. 

I think it must be as Andy B says, spare bonnet alarm wiring.  It does look as it it has never been plugged in to anything.  Odd that VX didn't blank it off though.  However it is on the driver side not the passenger side  on my early facelift 2.6. My bonet alarm switch  is definitely on the passenger (left) side

Either coolant sensor plug (feel underneath expansion tank) or more likely bonnet switch plug.  As said most later facelifts have bonnet switch on drivers side.

Just checked mine . Bonnet alarm is on the drivers side between coolant tank & brake res. no spare connection on passenger side though

When GM decided to factory fit bonnet plunger on driver`s side (later F/L) they "lost" the passenger side

[dbdb]

thanks for the responses.  I didn't know bonnet alarm switches (the pop up switch) have been moved to the drivers side on later UK spec cars, mine is on the passenger side as was my 2.5.  So I assume VX put the wiring in the drivers side before they moved over to drivers side switches.
