what is this connnector for?
When I installed my new instrument cluster, I noticed I had a connector on the right side of the steering wheel column that was not connected to anything. It had 4 large female connections in one row, above that another row with two more large female sockets and one smaller socket. Looks kind of similar to the computer connector in the engine compartment. It's at the height of the light/wiper/fuel tank controls, but on the right side of the steering wheel column. Does anyone know what it's good for? What could I hook it up to? I can take a picture if you need one.
Thanks!

Does your buzzer still work? If not it could be the connection for that, and somebody probably removed it.

The door buzzer? No it's not working! I thought about that too, but where do I re-connnect it? I can't seem to find the male end for it. Or did the previous owner take the buzzer out completely and I have to get another one? Can you tell me where the male end of the buzzer sits?

on my '87 150 the buzzer module is at the bottom of the dash, just off centerline to the drivers side between centerline and the Gas pedal.
No access to the truck right now, so I couldn't tell ya the shape of the connector.

If it's a 4x4, it is probably the wire harness for the electric shift buttons for the four wheel drive switches. You probably have the manual lever transfer case.

Brembs,
I can take a look up under my dash tomorrow and get the number off of the buzzer module for you. That one module does it all, headlight buzzer, seat belt buzzer, door buzzer, it does all of those. I'll take a peek at mine and get the part number for you.
I'll also call my parts source in Houston, and see if he has any in stock!

Thanks a lot guys (and especially hotrodford_88)!
It was the buzzer. I found the unit, plugged the connector in there and my buzzers worked again!
This board is priceless!
