Does anyone know what the single plug is for on the Turn Signal Switch Wiring ( white wire w/ blue stripe )

Photo in attachment

It was connected to a solid purple wire in the main harness under the dash

Bought a replacement switch and it does not have this extra connection

Any help would be appreciated - Thank you

That's an early turn signal switch. As you have discovered, the replacement switches have eliminated that extra wire and connector. The replacement switches have piggybacked that extra wire onto one of the connector pins in the 8 pin (nylon) connector, using a violet wire. It is connected to the connector pin of the blue wire (see pic).

If you look at the violet wire on the new switch, it goes to a contact (on the switch) that never connects with anything.

That extra wire is for the drivers lights on GTS , GT5-S and GT5 Pantera's

those cars have extra drivers lights., GTS have them mounted under the front bumpers, GT5-S and GT5 into the front spoiler.

you can give  a flash while the headlights are off

while the early Pantera and the new replacemenmts switches dont have this function , the GTS, GT5-S and GT5 has this extra function, pulling into the backward is possible, by the early Pantera's and the later replacements it's not.

A couple of years ago, I purchased a new reproduction turn signal switch from the capri vendor teamblitz. It does incorporate the terminals necessary for the flash to pass function.

I am using that function to control two LED driving lights I installed in redesigned turn signal pods.

So in other words, on car #2034 I don’t need to worry that this terminal is not attached to any leads?

yes , I think so , if everything is works as suspect , it dont have a function.but sometimes they switch colors on the replacement switches, easy to find out whit the old switch in hand .

you can chance the pins from the connector..

Another figment question. Reinstalling the turn signal / blinker stalk. Located correctly on the column (shroud holes all match up), but the cam fitting on the steering wheel hub (quick release version) comes no where near deep enough on the splines to engage the cancellation tab on the stalk.
