    On my T120 Black, under the nearside side panel, tucked down behind the air intake is an unused 6 way connector (with only 5 wires going to it). Anyone know what its for?
    I was actually looking for an (ignition switched) 12 volt supply to power my LED spots and on multi-metering this connector, one of the pins seems to have it.
    So, if I new what it was for, I could maybe assess whether it could supply the 1.5A needed for the spots directly, or whether to just have it power a relay instead.
    Thanks

    A picture would be good.

    I imagine it is for some optional accessory like the alarm although I would have thought that the alarm would have more than five wires.

    Think I've solved this. Was poking around under the seat and behind the side panels again and noticed that the USB socket (which is under the seat in a completely useless position) has its own switched 12v supply via a connector into the loom. The USB is rated at 2A so that is plenty for the fog lights so just need to wire them to that connector. So just need to source the socket in the photo (the floating/disconnected end). Any suggestions? Is it a standard automotive part that I might get from Halfords, say?

    Thanks Andy. From that exploded diagram it looks like they a supplying the complete USB assembly, but have contacted them anyway asking for just the connector.
