Under dash wiring gurus?

[wythors]

Weekend before last I started my AOD/T-5 swap. I pulled the steering column to do the pedal box, got it in and reinstalled the column. I left most of the lower dash off and went ahead and pulled the tranny. Last weekend I was out of town, so here I am this weekend trying to finish up the project. In putting things back together under the dashboard, I'm left with one three wire connector that I can't figure out where it goes. It is a three wire connector with a purple/orange wire, a red/light green wire and a black ground. It comes down from behind the instrument cluster with the rest of the steering column wiring and is covered with a fabric sleeve. It is long enough to reach pretty much anywhere under the dash.

Remove the bolts, then grab the bottom edge and pull hard. It has a couple of clips that hold it to the dash frame.

It's the "brake shift interlock" connector. Courtesy of www.my5oh.com, the best 5.0 tech site on the 'net.

No wonder I couldn't find the other end.

They're steel clips. I was worried the first time I did it as well, but you'll be fine.
