    I recently swapped my cluster and the new one used the same 4 plugs but I noticed a 5th plug tucked up behind the cluster and taped out of the way. Anyone know what this plug is? Its one of the wider plugs. (40 pin im guessing)

    Directly behind the cluster, taped to the harness that supplies the other 4 plugs to the cluster. If you were to un-tape it you could plug it into a cluster if there was a 5th hole. My dash is already put back together otherwise I would take a pic of it. Its in a 96 Gen 1

    My truck is 2wd so I was thinking it may be the plug for 4wd lights as well
