RE: connector

["Thomas, Tom" <Tom.Thomas@doa.state.wi.us>]

This is regarding the little 2 conductor connector under the middle on the
rear seat:

I almost positive that it is for an accelerometer (I don't know if that is a
word or not).  We talked about it on the list a while back, the newer (maybe
89-) have the plug hooked up.  It is so if you are on ice and all 4 wheels
are sliding, the car can tell you are moving rather that stopped and pulse
the ABS.  I have it on mine (87 5KCSTq) - it is right in the middle (not
connected).  I also have heated seats, and they connect with single plugs as
I recall, not the double like what were are talking about.  HTH

This car does have ABS brakes.  It has a fairly big control unit in the rear
driver side seat as well as a button to turn it off on the dash.  One guy
has responded saying the connector is for rear heated seats regardless if
the car didn't come with it.  I do not have a bentley manual to verify the
connector.
