Default Wiring question: 18 Road king

When you take out the headlight and disconnect all the switch harness from their clips on the head tube and your facing the bike there is a clip that's second from the top under the regular switch harness. The wire clip that plugs into this is a 2 wire clip but there is only a single wire in that clip.

Does anyone know what this solo wire is for?

There's a second set of wires from that same side that are two wires and i believe that's for the heated grips that I don't have so I'm not sure what this solo wire is for.


The manual shows it as part of the 'right handlebar switch module' but all the buttons work with it not plugged in on the right side. Is this for the two blank buttons below that don't have function?
