Fairly new to stovebolts and discovering new things everyday. I have an unidentified open connector on the driver side - bottom of the firewall coming out of the wiring harness. The strange thing is that as far as I know, all the electrical components are in working order. Any help would be appreciated.
Hy Roadrunner, please remember to tell us what year and size of truck you are inquiring about and if it is stock or has been modified. Those facts will yield better quality answers to your questions, thank you.
Sorry - It is a stock 1946 1/2 ton. Just got it running after it sat in a barn for 35 years. Original brake switch wiring is intact. Could it be for the optional engine bay light?
My guess is that this is the connector for the horn wire, which comes out the bottom of the steering mast. My '37, with a quality reproduction harness has that same connector. Does your horn work? Kent
That's the connector for the horn, there would have been a wire coming out of the steering column with a light bulb type plug on it. I just ran into that myself replacing my wiring harness.

Oh - that is great - although I'll have to see if I can locate the other end. I am just about to put a horn that I purchased at a swap meet on it, and about to tackle the wiring. What is strange is that I am unable to locate the original "hot" wire from the ammeter for the horn...
Ok - found both wires for the horn. They were cut-off and taped with the wires going to the lights. I think the previous owner put a different horn system on at some time... Is it possible to buy the original connectors somewhere?
