When taking the spare weel out of the boot the other day , i noticed 2 long wires going into the well where the spare wheel sits , i think if i remember rightlly 1 had a female plug on it , and the other 1 had a male plug on it , neither were plugged into anything . Does anyone know what these plugs are for ?

errr ... pics???
Myabe the previous owner had a bit stereo in it and the cabling was for that .... but it doesn't sound like it ... I am stumped on that one ... seeing as i don't own a sedan and can't check it.

There may have been a subwoofer in a fibreglass enclosure in there perhaps.

looks like too many wires on each plug to be for a subwoofer , was at least 6 or more wires joined to each plug .

If your car was an ex taxi it would be for the lights on the boot lid sign.......As your car is not an ex taxi, I would be thinking stereo too.

Yes. Sort of. The harness clip is there, so if you buy the Ford trailer plug adaptor, it just clips straight into the loom. I have one sitting around somewhere (off Bucky's car!!)
