OK, a new problem ...

Post by Busterboo » Wed Dec 07, 2016 9:18 pm

I was feeling gently round the back of the rear-view mirror and a thin, black, plastic-coated cable detached itself from somewhere in that region. (I don't think I pulled it out of anything. It just wasn't plugged into anything.)

Feeling carefully again, I found that it runs along the top of the passenger-side of the windscreen.

It's terminated at the mirror end in a single, hollow-prong plug.

What is it and where should I stick the plug, please?

(Humorous answers on a postcard to Donald Trump. Informative ones to this thread, please.)
