Wiring harness question
 

I discovered an unconnected grey wire coming out of the firewall, engine compartment side. I haven't been able to easily trace it on the cab side of the firewall, as it's in a taped bundle. It is in the ammeter harness, which seems to only have 2 wires (green, brown, going to the resistor) in the assembly book, not 3. It is grey and has "28" stamped on it. I called Lectric Limited, but they weren't able to help. Does anyone know what this wire is?

It looks like an under hood light was an option on these trucks. Since the dash bulb wires are grey, I wonder if this unconnected lead was for this option?

coolant sensor wire, 55 has a mechanical gauge, but the harness is probably 55-59
the end is similar to coolant sensor on the 56-59

I agree with Ogre- That connector looks like the type on that fits my coolant temp. sensor on my '59. The 55 2nd used a capillary tube style coolant temp set up.
