I picked up a MY16 SDV8 AB at the weekend and while poking around in the boot, I found a cable with a 2-pin connector just floating around near the spare wheel. The 2 wires disappear into a bigger harness on the rear wall of the boot. Anyone know what this connector is for and if it should be plugged on to something? 2016 L494 SDV8 AB

It looks like it could have been for some kind of charger to keep the battery charged if stood,,chase the wires & see if they go to the battery. Andy.

Had that on my 2017 model year, it was a connection for the soft close drivers door, leaves the factory unplugged and then connected before collection,

For the drivers soft close it says at the start

Nothing then just part of the loom

They don’t make a wiring loom dependant and what options your car has, that would be expensive

They make a wiring loom to fit all opinions and plug them in as needed,

Thanks for all the replies.
It just seemed strange that the whole cable was floating about as if it had been deliberately disturbed by someone. The cable has three plastic securing clips along the length of the cable (two taped, one tie-wrapped) and all three look like they have been detached from their fixing points on the chassis. If the cable was for a non-fitted option, I would have expected it to be secured in place somehow and not left loose to thrash around and get damaged. 2016 L494 SDV8 AB

It this was a Jaguar I'd say it was where the 'transit relay' was plugged in. (only had my RRS for 6 months, but owned Jags for 7 years beforehand- both my Jags had this.) Protects the battery from going flat in between manufacture and delivery. The Jag one is green and has connections to receive a two-pin male on it. Would be logical if Land Rover used the same system. 2013 L494 5.0 SC in Chile Red

Aha....thanks Three-Six Charlie, I think you've hit the nail on the head
I've not come across a 'transit relay' before but a bit of googling found a post on another LR forum which although referring to a different LR model, the photo shows an identical connector and a description that matches what you have described.

Explains why the connector and cable on mine are just 'floating about'. My OCD will require me to cable tie it out of the way  2016 L494 SDV8 AB
