if it was found in the area around the fsr it might be from one of the servos that open/close the vents.
try operating the buttons on the heater panel that direct air up/down etc and you should see/hear the servos working or not.

It's under the steering column, won't reach over to the fsr.

There are only a few loom variants so it's common to find plugs that aren't in use. Very useful for doing later upgrades

Well I don't want to ginx it but this is my 3rd X5 & I've had it for 2 & 1/2 years now. It's been a bloody brilliant motor! Fingers crossed it continues to be!
