I went out and looked at mine and I have the same plug that is not hooked to anything. Think it might be for a tac because the orange wire is for a dash light and that is the only gauge you would have on that side.

Just a quick question about a extra plug hanging under dash, does this go to a intermittent wiper opt. any advice would help
Intermittent wipers? We're lucky CJ's come with wipers at all !!! HAHA
glad you got it figured out.

Intermittent wipers have a red connector that's the same design, and spliced directly through, the wiper switch connecter. FYI. If the module acts up, you just switch the plugs, and have standard wipers.

That plug is for optional fog lights, you will also find an single orange wire near the driverside headlight. It will be tucked up behind the headlight bezel, with a connector on the end of it.

How do you know that? I have never seen a switch on the dash for fog lights.

Ask me about my head light upgrade harness!!!
Im looking at a diagram and its showing the fog light switch with a red w/tr, gry w/tr and blue going into it... but it shows it as a different shape plug
Wind sheild wiper motor looks to be the same type of plug. holding it the way you are the wires go L-R red, wht, blk, Blu.
Diagram is from a 84 and up. The fog light was an option that never seemed to be used.

On 84-86 cj the wiper plug is round, so that is ruled out. The fog light was optional, mounted on the lower leftside of the dash. The switch had its own relay in the switches harness.
Here is what it looked like.
I personally have never owned,or seen a cj with this option. But it did exist at one time.Just like the OP, I have this harness in my 83 CJ8 , so years ago i researched to find out what this was.

I'm sorry but that does not look like a switch you would find in a CJ.On 84-86 cj the wiper plug is round, so that is ruled out. The fog light was optional, mounted on the lower leftside of the dash. The switch had its own relay in the switches harness.

The plug that goes to the switch is round. the end that goes to the wiper motor is flat.
