Hey all, I was checking my fuses and saw this random cord unplugged. Anyone have any idea what it's supposed to hook up to?

It doesn't hook up anywhere. It is a connector for a transit relay installed after the car is built, which prevents the battery from discharging while in transit between the UK factory and its final destination. The relay is removed by the dealer as part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (just before the car is delivered to the customer), and that wire + connector are left behind, sometimes they install a blank plug at its end and sometimes they don't. Either way, it doesn't plug into anything and becomes useless after the car is sold.

Ah thanks, so strange that they'd do that. Thanks umbertob, I'll either drop a dummy plug on it or more realistically tape over it. Since I bought my car second hand, I didn't know if some bubbification happened here.
