What is this wire go to? (Ground Wire Plug)

There are two wires in my hand. The black wire is the ground wire from the engine block, it will be attached to the neg battery terminal. The other wire, with the plug....is the one I am curious about. It is attached to the same ground wire at the engine block and runs next to it all the way up to the battery. I cannot figure out what it might plug into, there is nothing in that area available for it to plug up with. Any ideas?

Wonder if it's the washer pump motor?

That's the only weather connector I know of that's on that side of the truck and towards the front.

The wire to my washer fluid pump isn't tied into the block negative the only ones that are with it on mine are to the starter and another plugs into the intake pendlum.

HA! Just noticed that my grammer rocks! That's a good indication of the state of my brain after a day of wrenching.

Both of those make sense....After a cup of coffee, I'm gonna check on it.

that's a terrible picture, I'm sure I can get a better one.

but the point is, if you don't have A/C, that plug goes to nothing.

No, A/C wire is already spoken for.

After another day of chasing the electrical gremlins around, was not able to find a home for this plug. I'll track it down eventually.
