Default 1998 dyna wide glide plug help

I bought a 98 wide glide with tank off and i have accounted for where all the electrical goes to,console fuel gauge etc. But there is one i have no idea. Its on the left side of bike if you were sitting on it.
Any help would be awesome.

Oddly enough, I had the tank off on my 99 DWG yesterday to finish off the internal wiring on my ape install and put in a 2” tank lift. When I pulled the tank, I saw that same fconnector, zip tied to the frame right over the fwd jug and about 3” behind where the tank vent mounts to the frame.

Not sure what it’s for, so I left it alone. Bike still runs fine. It was on my”to do” list to dig through the schematics in my service manual to see what it is.

There are three wires on mine & the connector looks the same as the OP’s: black, white w/ black, & green.

The closest I could find in my FSM is a data link. That has four wires: black, white w/ black, green w/ red, & violet w/ red.

I hope this isn’t muddying the water for the OP.
