Its always been disconnected. Wipers do not work on this car (yet).

Could be wipers. Looks like the other end of the connector is directly below it. Have you checked the AIM?

Power for wipers, goes through the wiper door switch

Hi,
I believe it's the electrical connection for the Wiper Door Safety Switch as mooser suggested.
The switch prevents current to the wiper motor until the door is fully open and the linkage pushes the button to close the circuit.
Regards,
Alan
