Found this tucked up in the dash (drivers side). I may just be tired but I cannot seem to locate it in the wiring diagram or asm. What’s this supposed to go to?

Harness is for the optional C50 Rear Window Defogger. The black plastic plug attaches to the 3 position (low-off-high) switch which is located on the driver's side forward console trim panel. The white plastic gizmo is a fuse holder. It holds the requisite 3 amp AGC fuse.

Look at the wiring diagram in your 1969 Chevrolet Service and Overhaul Manual. C50 being an option, it will have its own separate Figure (diagram).

That’s right. I remember this plug from when I ran the rear wiring a number of years ago and couldn’t place it. I believe I never hooked it up due to the actual ****/switch being busted and at the time nobody made a replacement.

This pink wire comes out of the firewall and attaches on top of the steering column under dash, anyone know what this is?
