Question Help identify disconnected cables in the trunk

Hi all,

I found three connectors and one tube disconnected in the trunk, close to the battery. They do not seem to fit anywhere. They have been disconnected since I bought the car and there were no error massages, etc.

I'd appreciate if someone can help me identify them, see the photo:

number 2 is longer and has a rubber seal, like if it was meant to go on the outside ...

many thanks, Asen.

think you will find they are transporting cables and once they have been used to transport the car by ferry they are just disc. and left there

The tube is a vent pipe for the battery, it plugs in the top rail of your battery if so designed. Some have the hole but need to be drilled out. A good idea to get it working.

You can ignore the electrical connections - they are for equipment not fitted to your vehicle.

The Vent Pipe (item 1) is important.

It should be connected to the left side of the battery to vent potentially explosive gas to the outside of the vehicle.
