CL500
CL500 detached wire/connector

Hi, We live in Center City Philadelphia and it's possible someone got into our CL500. There's a wire with a 2-pin connector hanging down in the driver's footwell, and the access cover is ajar. Next to it in the photo is a 2-pin harness. The two ports on either end are open. I presume it is supposed to connect to one of them, but I'm not sure which, and I don't want to make a mistake and burn something. Anyone know what it is and where it connects? Thanks so much, Dave and Jane Pitone

The big connector is the ODB connector and the smaller is for the LED light that should be there (I think)

Yes Tim, I took the bottom dash off and the loose wire was disconnected from the light for the foot well.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help. Very grateful Dave
