I hardly dare say this, but
a/ look maybe at a wiring diagram for the area?
b/ SF will be along to give you chapter and verse and
c/ maybe it is to do with the difflock warning light, if you don't have diff lock it would not need to be connected but it might just be there in the loom anyway
I don't like sticking my neck out with electrical stuff but there you go, I am feeling daring tonight!

Hi. Don't bother with it. It's for the shift interlock solenoid which is fitted mostly on NAS modells

...and there you go!
and now i am wondering what the shift interlock solenoid would do if you had one fitted.
Well done SF, as usual.
how you know all this stuff is beyond me!

HEE HEE. After establishing the n/s fr. window problem yesterday I decided to investigate the switch side of things. First I stripped the switch which looked ok inside but I cleaned it, put it back together & it now works perfect (it was more to do with 19 yrs of fluff,dirt & spilt drinks I think). I then did a quick swap with the o/s fr. switch which also works fine, so I'll get the o/s door card off tomorrow hopefully (I'll check the motor connection first this time)! It was whilst I had the centre consol out that I noticed that stray wire & wondered what it was for but the diff. lock is a good shout as mine doesn't have that. I'd packed all my tools away along with my manual & couldn't be arsed to open the man cave again so I'll check the wiring diagram tomorrow. Cheers chap.I hardly dare say this, but

Glad to hear about your fix! One less to do!

Likewise, I can tackle some stuff (points & condensers ha ha) but where boxes of tricks are involved I turn to drink...and there you go!

It's simple, i know the WSM by heart...and there you go!

here's a quote from it:
Selector lever interlock (where fitted)
The interlock solenoid on the selector lever is de-energised unless the foot brake is applied while the ignition is on.
While de-energised, the interlock solenoid allows the selector lever to move through the range unless P is selected.
On entering the P position, the interlock solenoid engages a latch which locks the selector lever. When the ignition is
on and the foot brake is applied, the BCU energises the interlock solenoid, which disengages the latch and allows the
selector lever to be moved out of P.
