After replacing the motors on the washer fluid reservoir this weekend, I noticed a wire with a blue connector behind the washer fluid bottle. I don’t recall removing it from its proper place so I’m wondering if it was disconnected to start with. I’ve looked around the engine bay near the washer bottle and can’t locate a place for it to connect. Does anyone have an idea of where this guy goes? I’ve attached a picture of the mystery wire. Thanks! Brett Naquin 1995 Land Rover Discovery  | ||

Hi Not sure but do you have headlamp washers? If not then this is probably the feed for the pump, this sits next to the existing one. Pete | ||

That's the strange part, Peter. I've already accounted for and connected the headlamp washers and front and rear windscreen washers. This came out as some kind of extra :0 Maybe there is some other option on a 95' that I don't have. Brett | ||

Well I'll be taking mine apart sometime soon, and have not removed or disconnected any wire. Let you know if I see blue wire that looks like in the pic! Ron | ||

I can't find anything like that on my 97. I have a Land Rover Workshop Manual from 95-98, and it doesn't show any plug like that. Matt | ||

This is wayyyyy bizarre. I’ve looked all over the washer tank side of the engine bay and I can’t find any place for this thing to plug in. It must be an option I don’t have or maybe it’s part of the setup for right hand drive. I’m going to put my washer tank back in and hope it’s not important. | ||

That wire goes to your turbo boost. What happened to wheeling this weekend? | ||

Turbo boost? Damn, I knew I was missing something. I was waiting for someone to call me to go wheeling and the call never came. I was ready to go, waiting by the phone, truck running in the driveway. | ||

I could be wrong but I think it plugs into your a/c line. Check out the underside of the smaller diameter tube. | ||

John thanks for the suggestion. I thought that might have been the solution but the connector you’re talking about is plugged in and accounted for. This is a real mystery to me. I assume it’s for some connector that isn’t used in my Disco configuration. I need a few oil change parts from the dealer so I’ll ask the service guys there. Maybe they’ll know. | ||

Problem solved. It appears the plug is for a TDI model. Another one of those components that Disco’s on both sides of “the pond” have in common. Thank you to everyone that gave their two cents worth. |
