I'm doing some interior wiring and this connector isn't plugged into anything? What is it?

It comes out right behind the center support. There are 6 or 7 plugs on it I believe

By any chance, do you have a larger picture? It's kind of hard to get a perspective of where it is.

Here's a picture of the wiring in my 87 with the dash removed, if that helps...

How many cavities does it have and what are the colors of the wires leading into it?

Unfortunately I'll be home in a few hours, I'll upload a new photo to try and show a little bit more.

From what I remember, there were 6 or 7 wires going into the plug, and there was:

- light green
- green with black stripe
- yellow
- maybe a tan/brown

I thought it could be the rear defroster relay but those colors don't match up. It might be the connector for the cruise control stalk, but it's hard to tell until you give more details.

Took some more pictures:

I wondered the same thing on my 85, I seen it a few days ago..

------------------


87GTseries 1 3800sc (7.597 @88.53 1.579 60ft)
(series II swap in progress)
85GT Northstar/ 4t80e
86GT 3800 n/a
My Build

That's connector C245 and it's used for cruise control.

That's kinda cool to know. Thanks!

Yeah, like just about every car I'm pretty sure they made one wiring harness and used it for all the V6 Automatics no matter the options and one for manuals/4cylman/4cylauto or just one that covered all possibilities. So you end up with wiring that may not be used because an option was not installed. Like my Neon out in the garage. I swapped bumper covers to a model that had fog lights from one that didn't. All the wiring was there for the fog lights, all I had to do was plug them in at the bumper, get the dash switch from the junkyard and put in a fuse.

You are exactly right, the wireing harness is set up for all options no matter what your car got when it left the factory. That's why adding in options is basically plug and play for the most part.
