Mystery Blade Connector

Anyone know where this blade connector connects?

This is from a 93 FD with an automatic transmission. The connector in question has one red wire, and can be found near the starter. The connector is similar to the oil pressure sensor wire connector except that one has two small wires. This only has the one red wire.

Is it the "go" wire for the starter itself? The starter should have 2 wires, a thick battery cable that bolts to it and the small wire that kicks on the starter solenoid when you turn the key to Start. It's a connector just like that.

I'm guessing not since the car starts, but will try to verify later this evening.

Also, I am getting two OMP error codes, that I am also diagnosing, but those are the only codes I'm seeing. This mystery wire doesn't seem to be causing a CEL code and due to the limp mode, I can't drive the car yet to see if it reveals itself elsewhere.

Looks like it could be the connector to the sender unit for your Oil pressure?

Thanks for the suggestions. Oil pressure is good, sensor shows proper pressure. Car starts and runs perfectly, no codes. Still a mystery.

A/C clutch? Water temp? coolant level has that mini harness that connects engine to emission harness. looks like colors are different from the 94 on this one.
