1989 2WD pickup: mystery dash harness plug - what does this plug into?

Hey all, I took off my dash to address a wiring issue, but now as I'm putting it back together, there is one plug off the harness I cannot find what it is supposed to plug into.

It may well have been a blank plug not used in my model, but I'd really like to confirm that before I put everything back together.

The mystery plug is boxed in red.

I'll bet someone here knows. Thanks!


this is the plug I can't figure out

This is where it attaches to the rest of the harness.

Take photo of the wires going into the plug,
should help figure out with wiring diagram what it connects to.
Also would help if you added details regarding 22R vs RE or Hilux or DLX base model

Identifying a connector shell, without the wire colors, is very difficult. Leave out the details of accessories and you're only making it harder.

Do you have A/C? Are the wires White-Black, Black-Yellow, Blue-Red?

I'll get a clearer picture tomorrow with daylight with the wire colors visible.
22RE (fuel injection), extended cab. It has no tach, so base model, I think.

Fair criticism - sorry about that. For some reason, I was focused on the shape of the plug.

I do have A/C, and I do have the A/C switch pulled out - but I'm pretty sure the harness plug is still connected in the back to the socket the switch fits into. I'll verify tomorrow wit my borascope.

I'm snap an image to get the wire colors tomorrow. Thanks!

OK, the plug has 5 wires. If you are looking at the female plug, numbered like so:

___|_-_|____
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 5 |xxxxx| 6 |


1 WHITE/black stripe
2 RED/black stripe
3 blank
4 BLACK/light green or BLACK/yellow stripe
5 GREEN
6 BLACK/brown stripe or BLACK/orange stripe

I'm not 100 sure of stripe color of wires 4 and 6.
