Electrical connectors under seat

Dear all

I noticed just now that under the seat of my Street Triple, there is a wire with two plugs on the end not connected to anything. They're not long enough to go anywhere and I can't see anywhere they might have come off from. There are certainly no problems with the electrical system on the bike.

I wondered if anyone knows whether or not this can be used for powering an accessory. A long shot I know, but is this possible? I have the factory-fitted datatool system - might they be for an add-on accessory to that?

If anyone can shed light on this I'd appreciate it.

Many thanks!

Question Pictures

Dear all

Some photos of the mystery connectors. They were originally tucked in amongst the wires at the side of the "storage" space. It seems on close inspection that they lead back into the alarm (which can be seen on the wider angle shot), but that the main alarm connection is the big black rubber-covered connection adjacent to where these green connectors emerge.

This leads me to suspect they are for alarm tests / customisation / diagnostics etc. etc. but perhaps I am wrong. Anyone installed a datatool alarm and seen them before?

Cheers!

I think I've got it!

According to the manual the connection for an extra siren or pager output from the alarm has a "green and yellow tag". I'd read this and looked for it but it seems on second inspection that my closeup picture shows a miniscule amount of yellow back along the wire - this must be it, surely, even though I wouldn't describe the connection itself as having a green and yellow tag?

I can't for the life of me think what else it might be, and this would explain a zero reading on the meter (I didn't test it with the alarm sounding as I would probably be deaf by now). It also says in the manual that the position of the wires may vary, but that it should be recorded on the certificate of installation, so maybe not everyone's will be in the same place.
