Default What is this? (pics)

I am changing my valve cover gaskets, and when I was getting ready to put the valve back on, I noticed this connector loose. Its near the firewall on the driver's side, and is in the same conduit that splits off to the wiper motor. I can't find anything it would go onto. Any help is appreciated.

Oh, and it's an '85

Here's a link to the pics (640x480)

Default I think I know...

Looking at your picture #1657 at the top of the picture you have a blue wire that is twisted around....lift that wire and I think you will find this plugs into the front of the wiper unit. My 85 has one plug that goes into the face of the unit and another that goes into the side (drivers side)

Hope this helps. - John

That connector plugs into your windshield wiper motor.

ok, I'm a dork. Sure enuff... right in the front near the top. Didn't look there, cause the connector was way down. Wonder if this will take care of my non-operational intermittent wiper function..

Thanks!
