There were two plugs mentioned and shown in pics on page 2.  The plug JoeD49 asked about (circled in the pic he posted above) is for the trailer TPMS receiver.  There is a round plug behind the bumper

yea my thoughts exactly.  They really just would rather not do it.  would have been nice to have more camera options but oh well.  thats what happens when you take a truck from the lot i suppose!  Sti

Do you already have the Tow package?  If not, could be the wiring for the trailer...

 

If you do, could possibly be the trailering camera??  

 

you got any pictures?

Are you looking at the hole to stick the crank in, to lower the spare tire?

Anybody know what the plug behind the license plate is for?  I've searched but come up with nothing.

Could you provide a picture of the hole?

 

Makes guessing a lot easier.

I already put the license plate on.  I'll snap a picture tonight.  When I took the dealer tag off to put the license plate on, there is a plug just sitting there behind the plate with nothing plugged in to it.

Tow package, rear (back up) camera, and the LED lights mounted under the bed rails from the factory come to mind.

 

But take the picture, that way more might be able to help.

Already have the tow package.  I guess the trailering camera would make the most sense.

No.  It's not a hole.  There is just a plug hanging loose there.  I'll try to get a picture tonight.

I put my plates on over the weekend and didn’t pay much attention as my kids were running around in the street. Pretty sure I saw wires and a plug too. Was too busy yelling at my kids to get out of the street to take a good look. Now I’m curious. Will have to investigate.

Pretty sure it’s the plug for the wireless trailer tire pressure sensors. Had a look behind my license plate and there’s a black box there connected to that plug. Does your truck have the trailer tire pressure monitoring?

No it doesnt. That is probably what it is.

Does it have a green plug? When I wired my Putco Blade tailgate lightbar using the Putco Blade quick connect harness I plugged into a previously unused connector.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
