      07 aveo, After head gasket repair i have an unknown electrical plug/flashing hold

      My wife has an 07 Aveo, head gasket went out and i did the repair. I have it all back together but I now have a plug (2 wire light brown and brown) I don't know where it goes to. I also have a flashing hold light so I think the issue maybe related but not sure. The picture is from under the car look striaght up at the alternator, starter and the back side int he intake manafold. in the same leg of the wiring harness is the 4 or 5 wire that goes tot he alternator. Could this wire be what is causing my flashing hold issue? and Either way can anyone tell me where that plugs into?

      Cant tell you, but just a tidbit of info, I have found 4 seperate plugs in my car that arent plugged into anything, and there is nowhere for them to plug into.

      there's an unused connector in my steering column that I found out it WOULD have gone to the passkey anti-theft module that wraps around the ignition swtich if I had power locks and keyless entry. there's also extra wires in certain connectors for options my car DOESN'T Have (mainly the cruise control, steering audio controls, and fog lamps)

      Sisco-
      Looks like the purge solenoid is plugged in

      I'll have a look at mine later today and let you know if I see anything

      If anyone ever runs into this I found where the wire goes, basically right behind the bracket in the picture there is a port, it is well hidden basically right behind the alternator. Not sure what it's for but as soon as I plugged it in the dash hold light quit flashing.


      Best of luck all!
