Is it supposed to attach to the open terminal on this little fuse block?
What is it for?

Looks like something in your hand is missing it's female spade connector, just pointing that out.
What doesn't work on your van?

I'm thinking it's the reverse lights that suddenly stopped working - everything else in that circuit checks out ok. Engine also consistently dies at idle after rehabbing my idle control unit. Used to only die when cold right after startup. I'm just worried about doing some damage by just plugging it in.
Was hoping that someone else would have the same fuse block to confirm. |
