Mystery Wire?

I bought this car from someone who didn't seem to know what was going on with the car. While it was a risk I took, it was worth it to me. This car has made a 2000+ mile cross country journey in 3 days with no problem. Starts up easy in cold/heat. Only had to replace the water pump. Plus it was $500 for an 82 GSL with 150k miles.

Anyway, I notice allot of connecters and stuff not connected to anything. This guy has the radio ghetto rigged so you have to push a switch to give it power and then push the power button on the radio. Anyway...I took this picture and was wondering if it's just a useless switch or should it be attached to something. I hadn't really looked as to where it could go, it's been pretty cold here lately.

Anyway, here's the pic:


Thanks in advance.

Just a diagnostic connector. Not all of them are green.

Oh by the way that red wire you have running to the battery, be sure it has a fuse inline on it , next to the battery within 6 to 12 inches of the batteries positive. Or else you might have a nice marshmellow roast with the fire it will start in your car
