On my 1968, the white wires coming from the light switch feed the door jamb switches and the courtesy lights under the dash and in the rear compartment. Do these lights work on your car? I don't have a 1972 wiring diagram to reference.

That light that I’m referring to is the rear courtesy dome light. I may have mislead you to the rear storage compartment light that is switched by the center compartment lid. Is your rear dome light working? If not, then maybe that is your wire. Good luck!

I've got the following white wires listed

Under hood anti-theft switch
Brake pedal stop light switch
Light switch <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
L and R hand courtesy lights under dash
L and R hand door jamb switches
Through the rear-harness connector to:
Rear courtesy lamp on the back wall
L and R hand door ajar switches
and one from the anti-theft relay to the anti-theft flasher

Mines a 69 so could be very different.
That single black plastic female connector and what you are indicating as a white wire appears only on the:
Again, different year so could be something different. But I see nothing with a singe white wire AND the black female terminal connector other than the two circuits listed above on my diagrams.
The picture almost makes the wire look tan and seems like the ACC tap wires you would find on the rear defroster circuit and the power window circuit but those would have TWO tan wires coming out of the single Black terminal connector and would be in the ACC port of the fuse panel.

- Speed Warning circuit (white wire would go to back of speedo)
- Transistorized ignition harness. (white wire would go to ignition switch but I cannot be sure if this is inside the car or out at the amplifier, i never had a transistorized ignition)
