Unknown plug behind dash , please help identify

So i pulled the dash and have a pretty good idea of what plug is for what

Upon flipping it over i notice a plug i cant recall removing.

Can anyone help identify it ?


Its the plug that seems like a* ground * ? Its the center plug that is bolted on the metal bar right in the middle of the picture


Thanks in advance

The center brace over towards the right side of the picture has a ground bolted down. That is correct, part of the harness grounds to the dash bar, which is grounded by being bolted to the frame of the car.

Also, you have to be careful if you paint or powder coat or whatever the metal dash bar since it is a grounding point.

I think that's what you are talking about, if I'm wrong you may want to circle what you are talking about.
