Power steering?

Thanks for the reply
 
Hey no it's not off the power steering pump and its not the knock sensor or gearbox so I'm lost as to we're it could go

I have a stick and I have not seen a plug like that on my Mini.

Hi
 
Thanks for your reply,you won't see this on your stuck car as this is for automatic only and the 2 looms are different.

I responded to your other thread. That appears to be the connector to the "Start Inhibit Switch" on the transmission (CVT). Located on the back of the transmission, just above the pan. Number 4 on the diagram.

Are you sure you looked at the switch / sensor I was referring to? I know that's a 4 pin connector. It even shows the connector on the parts diagram titled "4 pole connector". The other connector on top of the transmission is different.

The connector is on the main engine harness, on the branch with the oil pressure switch and starter solenoid wires, it just keeps extending and reaches that switch on the transmission.

Here is a pic of the Start Inhibit Switch. You can see it has 4 pins.

Try to look from under the car, or in from the left side wheel housing, and you should see it.

It is possible I am mistaken, but based off your description and pics that should be it.
