Anyone know what this plug is for?

Alright, I've been going through the electrical system on my 7 and came across a plug that I can't seem to find anywhere online or in my Haynes manual. It wasn't plugged into anything, possibly unplugged when the past owner took the rats nest out. There isn't anything it can plug into either. Anyway, I've got a pic of it here. It looks as though it would plug into a standard 4 or 5 pin auto relay. I know the pic isn't great, but its the best I can do with my old camera.

probably nothing necisary if the car was running fine when you got it and has been running fine sense you owned it I wouldnt worry about it. Now if the car has started to run like crap or something look in the plug if it looks dirty on the contacts then it probably hasny been plugged in for a long time, and I would start looking somewhere else for the problem.

The problem is far from being this plug. Its been unplugged since I got the car 3 years ago, and it ran fine untill the original engine blew up 2 years ago. Hasn't ran since because I got screwed on the first engine I bought and so far I'm still working on getting all the wiring and whatnot right on the latest engine. I'm just wondering what the plug was for because I can't seem to find out what it is in any source I know of.

It might plug into one of the relay boxes on the fenderwell.

Thats what I figure peejay, but there is no relay for it to plug into. I've traced the wires connected to it, and it seems like 2 of them go to the passenger side of the car then through the firewall, and it looks like the other 2 go to the front of the car, but I can't trace them much further than into the main harness down by the battery. The plug is located on the drivers side of the car near where the main wiring harness passes through the firewall. The only relays that are in that area are the hot start assist relay, air con relay #2, and the choke and check relay, all of which I am removing as I don't need them. No air con, no hot start assist, and no need for the choke and check relay as its not the stock choke system on the car, and the alt. light on the dash is no longer there.
