    When pulling out a broken Philco AM radio to put a new-used Philco AM Radio I bought on ebay. I saw a dangling wire and am concerned I pulled it out of a harness that I cant see. The wire is blue and attached to the wire harness going into the radio, One of the blue wires travels a distance the other one has a plug. I dont see what it was plugged to and think it was just there for an accessory. It sits to the left of the radio, between the radio and steering colum. Am I right it was connected to nothing?

    If memory serves me right it is a pannel light wire for illuminating the radio dial or the light that is in the ash tray. Put a test light on it and see if it has any current. Then turn on the park lights and see if it has any current.
