Hello, this is on my '04 S60 2.5T. I just finished putting in a new radiator. It was 5 days between taking the old one out and putting the new one in so I forgot a thing or 2. The one last thing there is is a plug that for the life of me I cannot find the male end of it. Is it possible it was not used. The car is running fine otherwise.

When standing in front of the car it is just to the right of the passenger headlight.




Thanks a ton, and if you know what it is or can take a pic, please send it my way.

No answers, so a little bump to the top, I still can't find what plugs into this. It appears the terminals are too dirty to have been recently unplugged, but none the less, something had to go there.

 

Do your headlight wipers work?

 

Ah, you may be on to something. I intend to unbolt that side of the radiator and see if the plug got stuck behind it, the intercooler or the Trans cooler and I will check to see if the headlight windshield wipers work before I do that. At least it's something I'm not too concerned about then.

 

They don't need to be disconnected to replace the radiator, so it may have already been disconnected. Sometimes they go bad and continue to run and kill the battery. Most people don't care to replace them so I usually recommend just disconnecting them.

 

I checked and it is for sure that wiper on that side. That's the part that's bugging me, like I mentioned in my original comment that it was five days between when I took it apart and when I got the new radiator and put it in. I don't recall if I unplugged it it's right next to the upper radiator hose and it may have been getting in the way. I could have swore I check the operation of the wipers when I first bought the car and they were both working. But maybe I only checked and saw the wiper moving on the driver side and just assumed they were both working.

Maybe it's time to check my brain, I'm forgetting a lot. LOL
