Extra plug on a 1980 A-model 8 years 10 months ago #7391

I have a 1980 A model I'm trying to put back together after the previous owner took it apart. I think I have all of the wiring figured out...... I THINK. AS I was putting the regulator/rectifier on I couldn't find one of the plugs for it on the main harness. Looking at it and the diagram today, I relized I had made a mistake on a different plug, and used the plug for the regulator to the main harness for a different location. When properly pluged in, I have another plug left over that I can't figure out a use for! It's under the fuse box near the regulator/rectifier and the ignition module. It's a for pin plug with three wires in it: white with red tracer, blue, and red. I can not find where it plugs in to. Is there possibly a missing component that I don't realize is missing? Could it be just an extra plug thats not used on this model? Anyone have an idea of what I'm talking about? Thanks everyone.

I don't have that connector on my 1980 B2 chassis. I cant find it on any diagrams either.

If it was a US model there may have been a reserve lighting device installed there. It may be that someone has removed the indicator self cancelling unit? I think both of these units would mount under the battery tray.

I've checked the diagrams and neither have a 4 pin connector on the white with red trace circuit.

As far as I can tell the reserve lighting ynit is in place and is plugged in. I know ther is at least one component mounted under the battery tray, I'll have to look closer for a second component under there. When you refer to the isolator switch I assume you mean the key switch that shuts off the electrics and opens the seat latch. I do have that in place and plugged in. As far as I know mine is the standard US model. Is there a sure way to verify which model it is?

A little added information: The plug has power to two out of four of the prongs.

Thr red wire is always 12 volts + and from what I can see on most of the wiring diagrams the white wire with the red tracer is a 12 volt + coming from the fuse panel so in other words a fused 12 volt supply. That being said, if you put your tester on the white wire with red tracer and start pulling the fuses out till you get a zero reading, then check that fuse for identification it might help answer the question.

that's my 2 cents for today.
