Purple plug to nowhere

Postby project02 » Mon Jun 09, 2014 9:37 am

I was doing some work under the dash today and I noticed a plug not connected to anything. I has two purple wires leading into it and it looks to be factory wiring. The previous owner had a wire connected to both ends of the plug to apparently complete a circuit. Does anybody know if this plug does anything? I will try to get a photo of it later.

Years Owned: 1967 Toronado Deluxe - owned this car since 1995 and am the second owner. Sadly it was cosmetically gorgeous but mechanically and electrically a mess when I got it. It was a feature car at the 1997 Olds Centennial but still wasn't running right then until Sparky Kalkhoff and I swapped out the wrong cam for the correct original. Everything electrical was repaired over the years until the point where the cosmetics became a mess. It's now undergoing its second restoration with lots of new metal to address years of rot courtesy of its Northeast PA roots.

Dusting off some cobwebs here but possibly it goes to cornering lamps maybe? I recall the same two-wire plug in mine up under the dash at one time and nuking it out to that application. I'll check my manual when I get the chance.
