While cleaning up the wiring behind the dash on my 1974 type 1 I came across this connector that wasnt plugged up to anything.I have tried relentlessly to trace it down in my service manual and haynes manual.Its a factory connector and from what I have traced it goes part to the relay board and part to the fuses panel.Its a 8 pin plug with the 5 slot empty.here is a break down of the wires for the remaing slots on the plug.
1 and 2 Brown(slot 1 is looped into slot 2)...3 Red...4 Green/Red stripe...6 White/Green stripe...7 Black...8 Yellow/Red stripe
I am guessing it might have been used for the factory radio.Thank you for any help

Goes to the brake warning light on the RH side of the speedo (K7 on the diagram). #6 is gray/green-stripe, from the e-brake switch.
