Default Auto trans switch connectors?

Hello
I know the right one is neutral safty switch, and the left one is backup lights. But what about the one in the middle? What is that for?

Im going from auto to manual trans, need to know what to do with that connector.

Thanks

I have no idea what year your car is but they should be used to control the seat-belt warning system in the forward gears

Didn't the manual transmission cars also have a switch on the clutch pedal that tied-into the neutral start switch circuit? That connector may be what links to that switch.

The manual tied the clutch into the purple + purple/white circuit over under the dash. That one (although different than my 72) I believe the switch operates the same


The green and pink wires are the reverse lights, only show continuity in the reverse gate position

The pink w/white and pink (same pink as above) wires show continuity in drive (3,2 and 1) so they must be related to the seat belt reminder circuit

Again, not sure his year but it's the same color wires in the same place so....
