What does this connect to?

I am try to assemble a 2012 Westminster I bought damaged. The offside right front took the hit with bumper armature taking most of the impact but a few plastic parts around the offside right were damaged such as the horns and the auxiliary radiator ducting.

I have worked out most the electrical connections but I can’t locate what the connector in the photos goes to.

Any ideas most welcome👍

It looks like the TPMS initiator coil plug, which is mounted on the wheel arch liner.

Thank you for the reply

Do you mean this? It just looks like a blank connector dock.

Yep, that's it - I'm guessing you don't have TPMS as that is a blank connector dock.

The TPMS initiator looks like this



Often wrongly thought of / called an antenna, it is there purely to trigger the TPMS sensor in the wheel.

Strange, I would have thought TPMS was a basic feature even in 2012 especially in a big heavy vehicle!

Must be a reason I guess?

IIRC it was an option - a deletable option on some specs. for instance, it was rarely fitted to Landrover Experience vehicles, all that changed once mandated by the EU of course, although I think it can still be deleted from POR vehicles build spec. It's also possible it was originally built for a non-EU market (or Conrico Int. etc.) or 'government work', development vehicle etc. etc. have a look on one of the many VIN checking websites for the build spec codes.
