Where does this plug in?

Ah, the joys of a 19 year old car with no documentation.

While poking around in the engine compartment of my 82 911SC coupe, I stumbled across an electrical connection lying loose, wrapped in electrical tape. Unfortunately I don't have a digital camera, but here are the details:

2 wires, 1 red 1 brown wrapped in a black tubing. The wires connected to this come from a bundle of wires directly under the #1 intake runner. 3 other wire bundles come from a larger bundle at this point, 1 leads to the Heater blower motor, 1 leads to the Warm up regulator (not the cold start valve as previousely reported), and the other joins another group of wires under the heating ducting and heads to the engine compartment electrical block.

The connector is female, and would accept a plug with 2 round contacts about 1cm apart. It has 2 hooked tabs to secure it in place. The connector is black, and marked with a logo that looks like a combination of "K" and "L" on top of each other. It is also marked "W. Germany" and the number "9682"

To the best of my knowledge, the car is stock, with CIS.

Does anyone know where/what this is supposed to be connected to?

Thanks

The description sounds similar to the plug for the rear deck lids courtesy light?

Unfortunately that isn't it. The light on the engine lid works properly.

I would think is it for something on the engine, as the wire is only about 1 foot long from where is exits the wire bundle under the intake to the end of the connector.

It looks like a standard connector, in fact it appears to be the same type used for the wires into the cruise control servo. I didn't unplug the CC servo, but the connector looks the same.

Thanks for trying,

Tom I am on my way to work right now but if nobody answers before I get back I will run out to my 77 and take a look and see. Its CIS too so it might be the same.

Just checked my 81 SC. I have the plug and it is not connected as well. Will check the Bentley....

I also posted this to Rennlist.

This is the answer I got from Mike Danials:

"I just went out and looked under the bonnet and my car has that vacuum valve. It has an
electrical connector that has 2 female couplings. The two wires are brown and red. It sounds like the connector you describe. I'm looking at my parts catalog and it looks like that valve is part number 911.606.106.01 (thermovalve). It says it only existed on 77-79 CIS systems, so
maybe, since your car is an '82, the valve never existed at all."

Looks like it is supposed to be unplugged.

Thanks for the help all.
