Not of the top of my head. You could try the service manual in the diy section.

I can't get into that manual. It doesn't seem to work for me.

do you have a temp probe for the overhead computer? the gen IIIs have temp probes by the driver side headlight. Never noticed if mine ever had a connector for it but I guess its possible.

I don't even have an overhead computer. Just the basic overhead console with lights and a spot for glasses.

How do I find out if i'm supposed to have that overhead console? There are no wires in the roof for anything special other than the lights.

If that's true, it can't be that then.

I took another look at it today and there are two wires on the connector. One is black and purple. The other is purple and green. Does that help? And I compared it to the fog light connectors and they ARE different. That just confirms that.

I still have no idea what it is. I even looked at the rams in the junkyard, and none of them have it. But it doesn't look like any type of aftermarket wiring.

At the yard yesterday, I noticed a ram that had the same connector. It was tied to the harness somewhat. Looks like an option type thing?
