unused connector
2004 F350, behind the driver side front turn signal, a small black connector with a pink wire and a dkgreen/orangestripe wire, it is 'attached' (non-electrically) to the truck...what is/could it be used for? Thank you.

I don't believe so, it is simple HVAC, no outside temperature reading, no automatic thermostat, manual-set air-conditioning (by color range (blue/red), not with a temperature digit)...no fog lights (could it be for that?), could it be for upfitting (is that the correct term)??

My 2012 has a few unused connectors, too. Fog light connector is prewired to a plug with a blank in it below the radiator. The fog light kit contains the needed harness split. However, I have another blank plug below the radiator, not sure of its use. Of course your truck may be different. Maybe it was used for a sensor on the diesel version if your is a gas, or vice-versa.

It's likely the connector for the outside air temp sensor for trucks with the overhead console (Lariat trim).

My understanding is if you don't have DRL, the connector is still there. My truck has DRL, but the resistor was removed and connector cut off.
