i wondered about that thing once before too. I have the same thing. I checked the service manual and all the diagrams I found had the blank plug too and I could find nothing in the wiring diagram either....
Maybe somebody can solve it...Looks like a good place to add an extra switch...

There was first gen diesel 4x4s too, well around here. My Cab is actually a 81 diesel that i picked up from a farmer, then built it with an 20r. It has stock dual battery trays for 1.

I kinda wish they made first gen diesel 4x4s for the US, I am pretty sure that was Canada, Japan Europe thing. But it sounds like they weren't very good...
