weird clock plug with 7 wires

[Pete M]

random thing I found while testing clocks for sale.  only have the body side and I have no idea where it came from.  Sentinel?  7 seems like a lot of wires for just a clock.  or maybe did something else besides Jeep clocks also use the same plug?  could be something I got from Jim.

Looks like C188. If C188_E is BLANK then IP harness side is set up for Quarts (Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)) clock.

E is the sole empty spot.

System sentry uses the molex blue plug for the clock. Not the metri. I think 87-88 were the weird years that the plug was almost fully populated. I speculate AMC was gonna have something else. Maybe a outside temp reader. Course that’s speculation. Following the wires could lead to dead ends or splices.

Is the one on the left for an early radio harness?  My 87 has two harnesses: one for speakers, another for power.

wait, are all 87-90s pre-wired for the quartz?  all my quartz are pinned different.   

[Pete M]

answered my own question.  the wires are all over the place.

Yeah no wiring is the same. 84-88 are wired for quartz. 89-90 are wired for the crap LCD to match the crap LCD radio. Then 91 had a quartz like clock. 

[Pete M]

also some of the LCD are tan and some are white.

I like how the newer white one has an AMC part number despite being from the Chrysler era.
