It could be the Door Lock Anti-Theft Switch.
Compare it with this pic

Dell Boy got you really close but that connector actually plugs into the anti tamper switch.Its the retainer for the door lock.

I've looked really close and I don't see an anti-tamper switch near the lock mechanism. There are some wires attached to the key mechanism, but nothing that looks like that part in Ecklers?????


Here is a shot of the driver's side door-lock mechanism.

A couple of used ones from Paul will fix you up.If you dont mind losing the anti-tamper lock popping feature then you can just leave it unplugged.The system is not looped.

I will be calling. While stripping my 78 I noticed someone left mine hanging in the bottom of the door. It was broke of coarse. $49 is crazy.

I also had to replace the T-top switches too.
