Looks like the Donawari connector.

Do your reverse light(s) work? Could be the plug which should be connected to the reverse switch on the gearbox?

thats the thing ya see, everything in the car works, i make sure to check everything on the car weekly and everything works perfectly, this socket has been sitting there unused since i got the car with seemingly no ill effects.

Its either some kind of diagnostic plug or else a plug for some other version of the car with extra features, ie fog lights etc???

thats what i figured actually, just said i'd put it to the forum.
Anyone got a Punto Haynes Manual? Might be in there
My Old 85 had a random one like! Don't know where it went never used it and never seemed to hurt it
Knowing Fiat it is there for something that's normally an option or on a higher spec Punto.
We thought we were going to have fun installing a rear wiper on our base model Panda, until we reasised all the wiring was already there along with plugs (like this case), all we had to do wsa connect it all up and install a switch (from a scrappy) on the dash, and bob's your uncle, we were laughing

thats good to know, hopefully it is for foglights or something so i can get them next
Yes.. a lot of cars have the same wiring loom, regardless of the market they're destined for, where they may be supplied with extra equipment. Even top-of-the-range models that seem to have every optional extra going may have unused wiring. So, if everything works, "donawari!"...
Down there, I'd guess it may be something to do with the gearbox - perhaps the sensor for to show what gear the car is in (if the Auto has a display on the dash). Etc. A look at a wiring diagram is the only way to know for sure.

Hmmmm looks similar to a Punto Factory Blipper kit
It could be that....
I know it means it's been removed or a higher spec based setup u have
Looks the same colour as the blipper kit

It's the connector for the vehicle speed sensor. However, as your vehicle has ABS it isn't needed (vehicle speed is calculated by using the rear ABS wheel sensors) and leaving it on the loom is cheaper and easier for Fiat than making two separate harnesses.
