The only tan/black I have found in the troubleshooting manual has to do with the CCC system. Maybe its a testing tap of some kind for the computer ?
I tried to find it on a regular wiring diagram , no luck,82s have a lot of wires.

in my book it might be for the left hand seat belt buckle switch, and goes into a sequencing modual, on the 82! Ron
PS I found this on page 14-29 in the AIM mid page
