Here are the rules: 1. The previous winner posts a picture of some sort of tool. 2. Other people guess what it is. The poster tells them if they're right or wrong, with any other comments he/she sees fit. 3. After no new guesses have been made for a couple of days, the poster should provide a hint. 4. If there is still no correct answer given, the poster may declare the panel stumped, give the answer, and post another picture. 5. Whoever posts the correct answer is the winner and posts the next tool. Go back to 1. New rule "that a winner, if they do not run the next stage declines and the game is open to any one who wants to play." |

Nope. Nope. And no. It does have serve a function relating to the wiring harness. |

Does it hold up wires under the hood so they don't droop and touch the engine? (Seems unlikely in as well engineered a car as that.) David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Nope. But it is used in that neighborhood. |

A clip that retains one half of a harness connector? |
Admiral Gloval Send message Joined: 31 Mar 13 Posts: 20263 Credit: 5,308,449 RAC: 0 |
It is not a retaining holder or part of a holder. It does have something to do with a (several) wiring harness connector. |

Does Porsche give you this to snap and unsnap harness connectors? |

Unsnap. Yes. But which ones in the picture. |
