    Guys so I recently took out my dash to recover it. Putting it back in and can't figure out where does this plug plugs into??? I thought I disconnected it when taking out the dash, but now I can't figure out where to connect it.
    Is it an extra plug??? Anyone can knows???

    I got a US car 1995 berlinetta.

    Not sure what it is. Are the wire colours just blue and black or are they striped?

    The alarm LED is blue-white and black, but that looks too far away.

    No alarm on a 95.

    Good point. I keep getting confused because the '94/'95 wiring diagrams do show some wiring for an alarm system. When I decode the diagram connector labelling, however, it shows it as being provisional. Maybe Shurik's wiring is provisional (unused).

    Possibly. I did find a plug with blue and black wires in that area in the wiring diagrams. It could be for the glovebox light on non-airbag cars.

    Is it for the cabin temp sensor?

    It is unused. I have seen it many times. I am not sure what it is for but it is not connected to anything.

    There is no glove box on a 355 US version. I can imagine a glovebox would fit in that space if there were no airbags, hence the unused glove box lamp connector.

    Thanks guys! So it is a blank plug then. I can't believe I didn't remember it when taking out a dash. Put everything back and no issues. Apart that my fog light switch has no light, and a dome light has no light as well when should be illuminated.

    Does your map light work? It uses the same power source. The clock and a few other things run off the same fuse. If you do have power and the bulbs are ok, it will be a faulty switch.

    The Fog Light Switch light is actually an LED. I don't know if it's possible to replace the LED without messing with the switch mechanism (i.e. lots of small parts to worry about). It shouldn't be a power issue as most of your instrument lighting wouldn't be working if the fuse was blown.

    Yes it's just the switches that won't illuminate. I have the power and work, they just lost the LED illumination light at night.
