What's this? Behind drivers side dickie seat 300 TDi

Doing a bit of work to put in a full length false floor (watch this space) and noticed that behind the dickie seat on the drivers side there are two vents one on top of the other. The flap moves easily with your finger but no effect with the fans on



Any idea what these vents are???

Also, see the bunch of wires nearest the vents. That exits through the floor and goes to the 12n socket in the tow bar. Two of the cables are taped off and seperated from this bunch (the two with red caps on the end that look like LEDs), using a 12v flourescent light with crocodile clips I have established that these are a permanent feed from the battery and bypass the ignition (as you would find in a 12s socket).

I'm thinking of using these to power a twin or triple cigarette socket in the floor/drawers/cabinet I'm building. Can anyone see a problem with this? It would allow me to use the socket for things like 12v inflatable pump for matress and so on when camping.

Going to wire another 12v flourescent light into the boot light to provide more light when the door is opened.

The vents are to relieve pressure when you're driving with the fan on nd windows shut (really)

My guess is the previous owner pulled a camper and the (2) hots were to power inside lights at night?

If you are going to use thes hots, I'd make sure they're fused.

luck,greg
