Hi cadillac,

Is it possible the connectors are for lights or something else for another market? A while back we had an orphan connector in the tail light question come up in the S-Type board. When I asked about it at the dealer they said it was for fog lights in a foreign market. I assume your car is not running any different than normal.

Mike

Hi carelm,
I opened the hood due to A/C not blowing cold . What was worse two fans didn't kick in either .However , the engine temp were normal .
Final update :
Two fans are running regularly but A/C still not as good as it used to be .

If you look at the large diameter air intake hard plastic pipe going into the throttle body, above and slightly forward of your hand. This pair of connectors is on top of that pipe.

The black one goes into the metal one, which is screwed into the intake.

At least on my 92 XJ40 4 litre. Could be that we have different emissions kit over here, but the manufacturer only produced one wiring loom.

Air intake temp sensor.
