Mysterious Connector Near Transmission

[relyt120]

Hey all,

Another mystery in the BumbleBee. I was under the truck looking at the exhaust and say a connector just hanging there. It is covered in grime and I don't know where it goes and was hoping oneone here would know something about it.

Hopefully these pics arent totally useless.

Here's some pics:

 

Thanks in advance!

It's hanging down from the general vicinity of where the AW4 NSS cable connector is located. But it's hard to tell with those pics.

Yeah I thought the pics would be a little less than helpful, It's a manual transmission so i'm thinking if it is an AW4 cable then it's either unneeded or it is in fact not the cable in question. I will attempt to clean it and see if I can either get some better light under there for pics or just to poke around to see if there is someplace to plug it. Thanks for looking!

Might be for the shift light. Some transmissions have the hookup for one, some don't.

The plot thickens...the plug is coming out of the transmission itself and I found another one, one of those weatherproof 2 cable connectors up on top of the trans (the green one). I took some more pics but they are still blurry. It seems the camera on my phone doesn't like close up pics :shake:

Reverse light switch.

It looks like the reverse light switch. I can't tell from the pics but it looks like the wires might have been burnt? If the connector is fried on the transmission end, I'd just splice the wires back together.

So just to verify, I should connect the one on top with the one hanging down?

:idea: Do your back-up lites work ? ( Also check trans fuse )

As said before, that's definitely the backup light switch. The NSS has a much longer cable and has a flat (I think it was 4) wired connector.
