Thanks for that. 
Now I'm not worried about the mystery connector.
... but the car is still black.
I'm wondering if it's completely disabled itself as a result of the battery being disconnected.
If there's something clever I should be doing with the key, there's no mention of it in the handbook.

couple basic checks - does the battery have power? I.e. what's it reading with a multimeter/does it light a test lamp? Is the battery installed the correct way round (+ve cable to +ve terminal/-ve to -ve)?
what was the issue that led to the battery being changed?
Hiya.what was the issue that led to the battery being changed?
New battery tests ok.
Definitely the right way round.
The old battery was weak when the car had been sitting for a few days but fine after a run. On Saturday it just wouldn't fire the starter. The clock reset but there was still some power - like to lock / unlock.
Do you have a multimeter? If so, check for continuity from the chassis to the battery negative - earth lead may have been damaged during removal/refitting of the battery.
Does the central locking still work? And if so, does it work from the fob or only the key? Or can you only unlock using the key and it only operates the 1 door? Just wondering whether the car is failing to recognise the key.
