Default Another where the HELL does this go?

Noticed some block, plastic tied to a brake line coming from the master cylinder, I believe after further investigation it is something to do with the speedo cables, and I looks like it was riveted to the wheel well originally. So looking further I find a connector that looked odd just hanging, I pull up the wire and what do ya know, one more Bubba thing that I cannot find where the hell it goes. Anyone have a clue on this one? Thank you in advance for any help. This Bubba thing is really starting to **** me off. I mean really?

Looks like the wire that plugs onto the brass junction block below the master cylinder where the steel brake lines go

Moving from the Cars For Sale classifieds to the Tech section.

You could also ask the question in the General section if you dont get answers in tech.

I would also have to say it is the wire for the brake warning light. Plugs onto the top of the proportioning valve.

Hi,
I think it's something else….. but not sure what.
I believe the wire for the brake warning switch exits the harness much nearer the alternator, and also is a smaller connector, (unless it grew in size as the years went by).
Regards,
Alan

You're correct, Alan. Guessing, engineering changes/updates.
