What's it for?

[Tom Elwood]

Pulled the dash apart today on my '75 New Yorker to lube the speedo cable. Found a wire that isn't connected to anything and I can't find it anywhere on the wiring diagram. It was on the left side by my gauges. It is light blue and has a white plug with a small round hole in it. Looks like it should push onto a pin. I'd like to find out what it is for before I button this thing back up because it's a royal pain in the ***. I think the dash was built by elves. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Have you done this.
Look back up under there and see if there is a dangling blue wire with a male connector.
The thought of dragging out the wiring diagrams for the 1,000th time scares me into doing that first.

I did and there isn't any male. Because it's a female terminal I would assume it would be the hot side but I checked it with a test light and it isn't. I tried to follow it but it goes into a harness and disappears. I was just trying to identify it before I put everything back together and find out I have something that doesn't work anymore. Could just be a prewire for something i don't have on this car. Those wiring diagrams drive my eyes crazy. Thanks for your help.

I mentally can't handle leftover wiring.
I'd have to identify it even if it means it was supposed to go to an option you don't have. Lol.
I couldn't button it up until then.
