Where does this wire connect?

I'm in the process of putting my 77 F150 interior back together and I have a question about where the single orange wire w/ a black plastic connector is supposed to connect to? I had labled it "wiper switch," but the wire is no where near the wiper switch and I havent found any connector in it's general area that matches. The wire comes out in the same general area as the defroster switch and radio wires. I've posted a link to a picture of the dash wiring, the connector I'm referring to is the orange wire that is above the gauge cluster connector in the picture. Thanks.

By "heater" I'm thinking your mean heater fan switch? The heater fan switch already has a 4-wire connector attached to it and there is no other connector on the switch. The only other heater connector I know of is for the fan resistor on the heater box and it's already connected as well.

I searched through the 77 F150 wiring diagrams and determined this wire to be for the dual fuel tank selector switch, which I do not have on my truck. I don't know why I labeled it as wiper switch, must have had one to many beers the day I labeled this wire . Thanks.
