Found unplugged connector near coil pack. Where it goes? Hey all,
Just opened the hood to check around and found a connector that was unplugged. Driver's side and comes off the same harness as the big white connector in the center of the coil packs. I checked the passenger side and did not see the same connector. Any idea where this goes?. I provided an picture. Its the small disconnected white plug to the right. Thanks guys.

Thanks again. Car has been having some problems as of late and I'm just trying to rule out some simple things I see. The car is having idle issues and electrical issues. Not sure if they are related.

Check all the PCV hoses from the rear of the driver side rocker cover to the rear of the pass side rocker cover to the throttle body. Most of the rubber hose will develop cracks or holes and then you have a vacuum leak, that will cause Idle problems. What other electrical problems are you having ?

1. Key in ignition, turned to on position. All dash lights and guages come up fine. Can hear fuel pump prime
2. Turn key to crank, one big click. Guages fall back down, all dash lights turn off
3. Not often but yellow security light flickers then goes back off
4. Red Seat belt warning stays lit but flickers sometimes
5. Turn key back to off. Fast clicking sound from glove box, fast clicking from engine bay relay box, red LED top of dash flickering on an off. Try cranking again, NO fuel pump prime noise. No nothing.
6. Remove key from ignition. After 3 seconds the rpm/speedo needles bounce all over the place. Still have a weird flickering door open chime sound. Red dash led flashes normally.
7. Rear view mirror lights work with door open and key out.
8. Get out of car, close door. Reopen door and immediately hear fast clicking near glove box, dash red led flickering fast.
9. Reinsert key. Turn backwards to accessory position. Turn radio on. Antenna extends up, radio controls work but no sound and flickering clock.
10. Disconnect battery for one hour
11. Reconnect battery. Sometimes it fires up just fine. Sometimes all guages and dash lights come, but same no start click when cranked over. Also sometimes absolutely nothing happens when cranked. Just the seatbelt light comes on and flickers. Then more of the same as what I wrote above.

Do some research on the VATS system. Also I would load test the battery to make sure it's strong enough to turn over the starter. Clean your terminals if you haven't already, check the wiring at the starter. Also check all your grounds, there are a few of them on the back of the heads and one over on the driver side of the block.
