Title: Molex plug next to 4WD switch
Post by: DaemonForce on October 05, 2011, 04:59:44 PM
What is this supposed to be? I'm checking my vaccuum switch for problems and found this loose 6 cable connector(it has 5 wires currently in the white molex). Any idea what it goes to?

Also I opened up the rear cover to my steering column and see a loose white wire on a black molex. I see a large wiring harness next to it. Any idea what this is for?

I believe that is for the dashboard clock. Do you have a guage package clock?

Correct.

I probably have the clock somewhere but I don't see where it would mount in on the dash. Also a clock is kind of pointless with the modern stuff installed right now. I guess it's obsolete. :/

Car's that didn't have a tachometer, had in the dash where the tachometer goes.
