Hicas Locking - Should This Be Plugged In?

[HuH]

Hi All,

I bought my R32 a couple of months back and a HICAS bar has been installed. It's had the hydraulic line looped but the bits of the system are still in the car.

I was fixing some stereo wiring a day or two ago and noticed that this plug was not connected:

I like everything to have a home in my engine bay, so I plugged it back up. But now I'm wondering whether it needs to be disconnected? It's made no difference to the way the car drives, and there are no lights appearing on the dash?

All feedback is appreciated.

if it hasn't caused a problem or any powersteering fluid leaks you could leave it plugged in. it looks like the loom for the solinoid on that valve, somebody was probably just being overcautious when putting the lock bar in. when i put a hicas lock bar in my old 32 i didn't unplug anything in the engine bay, and never had a problem.

Thanks for the reply. So far so good, I think. Doesn't seem to be leaking or doing anything unhealthy! I guess I'll just leave it for now.
