"C" should be the "Bulb Failure Module" for that side. Monitors failed bulbs and lights a message light on dash. There are four. One for each corner of the car.



"A" and "B", I'm not sure of.

One of those plugs may go to the security module which is that black box tucked in the corner under the light connectors. Does your security system key fob work?

Thanks for the reply. I know where the go. I don't know what they are for.
I looked at the Electrical Guide but didn't find anything helpful.

I am quite certain none of those go to the security module. The car would be unable to come of with the security module disconnected, plus yours looks safely in place.

I believe B is for the antenna override relay/ diode for cars fitted with the spoiler

That's it. One wire goes to the antenna motor so it makes sense.

2 down 1 to go!

Pete, I just looked in my car and A looks exactly that same. It’s just a factory thing. It very likely is a connector for cars with mobile phones installed
