Jay, is the inlet lighted?
Could it be ground returns for LED's?

I've taken the J1772 inlet & cable from my salvaged (2013) Nissan Leaf
and am planning on connecting it up to the new charger for my S-10
pickup truck conversion.
It has the standard 5 pins (Hot/Hot/Ground/Proximity/Pilot). The two
hots connect to two large orange wires. The Proximity/Pilot connect
to two small wires that come out of the harness close to the inlet.
However, there are THREE green wires that emerge from the back end of
the harness. One large, which is connected to the ground pin on the
J1772 inlet, and two other smaller green wires that are connected to
the large green wire via a shared ring terminal. I don't know what
these two small green wires go to, but it's not any of the pins on the
J1772 inlet!
When I disconnected them from the ring terminal, they do not have
connectivity to any of the other wires, or to any of the pins on the
inlet. As far as I can tell, they just go into the harness heading
towards the inlet and disappear!
The only thing I can think of is that they are routed near to the HOT
wires in such a way that if the hot wires are compromised they may
short out to ground?
Has anybody got a definitive answer to what these two guys are for?
I can post photos of them if you want to see, but I figure that
anybody who already knows the answer won't need the photos....
Thanks,
Jay
