It doesnt go to anything, I asked the same question on here a couple months ago when I was trying to fix a headlight problem. The guy that told me was the only owner of his car since new and said its always been there not connected to anything.

Almost looks like a plug for the factory stereo wiring.

It almost looks like the wires that plug into my factory cruise control. Located in the same place.

My '88 has the same connector, just hanging there. Always has.

It looks like one of the connectors that plugs into the lightning(headlights,dimmer swithc, emergency lights) Do all thoes work right now?

i would say it is for the cruise control modual. there should also be another plug, and a little box up there. if your cruise doesn't work, that should be the reason.

there is a few things that dont work. so its a bit tough to exactly know whats just a bad ground and what is just a bad link. the horn blows a fuse every time i honk-which i think is just a bad ground. c/c does not work - im gonna go back under and look again cause that might be it. bought car w/o radio cause rippedout/stolen - but i don't think its that. that syst was bad install too so i removed it and cleaned up the wiring last wk. it may have always been like that. could you guys check in your mustang too? thanks

If I remeber right the cruise control and horn are on the same fuse.

the box located on the upper left wall does have all the connectors, so im at a lose of words. (black93fox) the horn and c/c are the same fuse but even when i replace the fuse and disconn the horn, the c/c still doesn't work..... frustrating

It does nothing for us. Has something to do with programming at the factory.

Have you tried not disconnecting the horn and then trying the c/c? I think they get there power from each other since there both in the sterring wheel.

A while back when I was doing a heater core swap and evap install I had the dash all apart.

After I put it all back together the horn and c/c would blow a fuse every time I searched under the dash and found the same plug and could not find where it goes. What it eneded up being was the clocksping in behind the steering wheel. I replaced it and everyting works fine and that plug is still hanging down so I just tucked it up out of the way.

Must be used for something at the factory or for repairs.

the horn and cig lighter are the same fuse

the horn and cig lighter are the same fuse

Yea i was about to say that, mine does the same thing. Everytime i put a fuse in there is blows. My c/c doesnt work either. whats the deal?
