That is the wire(s) that operate your cruise control. It runs all the way to the turn signal lever.

Did you actually unplug it? Some of the connectors in the dash harness could be for optional equipment not installed on your car.

Light green and blue??? I can't tell. But it appears as if there are two light green wires and a blue one.. if so, it's probably the neutral safety switch connector for the clutch pedal not used on AT cars.

What do you have for a neutral safety switch? That would be my questions....

Let me look at a schematic tomorrow to make sure of the wires.. I'd rather be sure than sorry.

We got ice last night and this morning ... I didn't have a chance to look at the schematic.

But..

Are the wires double light green to one terminal and blue?

What are you doing for back up lamps? On the automatic car, the neutral safety switch in the console was also the back up lamp switch.
