Last night I was taking out the charcoal canister and washer bottle off of my 1980 and found a wire that had no home. It is not from the tranducer or the washer pump. What else could be down there or is it just a throwback when the security lock was above the fender vent?

On my 1980, there is a horn on the inside of the fender near the washer reservior and charcoal canister. Somebody may have removed yours.

On my 79 there is the alarm horn on the drivers fender. on the automatic it should be just about under the transducer. It may be an orange wire. if thats the case it goes to the factory alarm.......LT
