More likely the emergency flasher or the turn signal flasher

I think that's a power lead for A/C cars.

The blinkers work and the 4 way flashers work. This is a A/C car, the blower motor and all that is hooked up and works. The radio is aftermarket and feeds off the fuse box, that's kinda why I am thinking its supposed to be radio power wire, but I'm not sure. Guess I could go pull radio fuse and see if it loses power...just thought of that as I am typing.....
