Found a unplugged connector. Can't tell what it is for.

Hello,

Found an unplugged connector (shown on the photo). It is from the same wire that goes to the washer water pump.
Could anybody please tell me what this connector is for?


Thank you for your time.

Rear washer pump for hatchback models.

Nope. Hatchbacks use one washer pump
But run backwards to feed the back window. I’d explain better but keystone

Maybe its for models with DRL's in the fog light position

Attachment 26770 Chitty picture but it looks like it goes to the LOW WASHER FLUID SENSOR to me. Clips to the side of the washer bottle then plugs into a short jumper/gender-bender harness to the sensor on the bottom of the bottle. Only 17+ have that sensor(not sure if they all do)

You can also see the single pump with two outlets, it runs in one direction to feed the windshield then runs in reverse (has a built-in check valve) to send piss to the back window(hatchback). You can't run both at the same time.

green-white harness clip
pink-low fluid sensor

Edit: It's daylight now so I got some better pics. I think the connector that's taped up might be for the fog light? Can't be sure on that one.

Thank you for the photos. I do actually have fog lights and they are powered by a different wire. I do not, however, have a washer fluid sensor in my model. So, I would assume this connector is for that washer fluid sensor that simply was not put in my car. I wonder if this is a normal practice? It is a waste of a connector, but on the other hand it is easier to manufacture exactly the same wires for all cars.

the wire is for an H11 fog light. thats same socket as the wire from my fogs 2015 unit.

You're a smart man. In many cases, it is less expensive to waste a connector than to have different wire harnesses. Because if there are more than 1 wire harnesses, you know good and well that it's going to get mixed up frequently in a Hyundai-Kia plant. So most manufacturers "reduce complexity" which leads to fewer mistakes / repairs, and sometimes leads to an extra connector laying out somewhere in a car.

I don't know that's the case, in this case. But it could be.
