My today my radiator was leaking (time of a new radiator) . So to find the leak I took the factory cold air intake off and I found this plug resting near the transmission. I think it might have something to do with the transmission .
Thanks
sorry Phone pics

 

any odd shift behavior recently? what color is that connector? Could be for the revolution sensor

 

doesnt look like it goes very far.

 

I have that connector hanging loose also. I don't know what it is for, but the car runs fine. I zip tied it to the harness so it doesn't flap around. If you look at the op's photos, based on the dirt on it, that connector has not been connected for a long time.

 

hmmmm I will have to investigate this. Possibly I removed mine.

 

I can't quite tell where your at, but could it be the electronic front motor mount plug? Not all cars have it and these maxima's have a reputation of having wiring included in the harness that's not necessarily used on that particular vehicle

 

On the 3rd gen there is a plug like this hanging not connected to anything. I think its normal but not 100% sure.

 

Thats suppose to be plugged into the antenna motor

 

if the op has a 99 gle (as his sig identifies), then he should have the electronic front motor mount, so it shouldn't be that. with the location he specifies, my guess is abs actuator; does the op have abs brakes or not?

 

Wow thanks for all the replies .Yes it is 99 gle the location is under the factory cold air intake a few inches from the battery. The color of the plug is brownish . I think I have abs (abs light when key in Acc) and the car shifts hard when I accelerate faster than normal it will get to 3-4k rpm but its Been like that seance I got It 3 years a go . Also the accelerator peddle has been hard to push when the I am at a light could this be also related to that plug or is it cuz it's getting cold . Thanks for all the help.

 

That plug is not causing the accelerator problem. The accelerator uses a cable between the pedal and the throttle body, strictly mechanical, no electrical things involved. Check the cable that it is not kinked. Disconnect it from the throttle body and see if the pedal is still hard to press. If it is, the cable needs to needs lubricated or replaced.

 

good one

 

it's some sort of option. mine's a 98 gxe and mines taped up all nice and neat

do you have abs?

 

@ styliztik thanks for the better pics . I too would like to know if you have abs.
@surban1 I think you maybe right I found this post about electronic mounts http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...ounts-ecc.html

 

i only said that to see if Mr GGENIUS was still stalking me... Never fails

 

Negative. I do not have abs.

 

do you really think i could sleep at night without exchanging a few words with my bff?

 

below, styliztik says has does NOT have abs; your 99 gle (and all 95-99's)only has a front electric motor mount. you can check if you have abs by looking for the actuator doohickey with lots of brake lines going into & out-of it just in front of & below the brake master cylinder. lines from the brake master cylinder will run to it (the actuator) if you have abs; you also may have noticed the brake pedal "pulsate" upon "slamming" the brakes. i'm still going with guess about abs related.
