Might be for the gear selector lighting for cars that have an automatic trans, and since your car is a manual, the pigtail does not connect to anything.

I believe you are right. My wife dropped her necklace in the benzel of my automatic transmission (2011), and I recall a plug connected to the gear selector to light up the PRND123 plate when I had to remove the cover to get it out.

i believe that must be it. it not of the cup holder lighting cause they were still plugged in when i took this pic. i was thinking it might be for a switch like the 09's had so you could change the foot well and cup holder lighting with out having to go through the menu in the speedo. is there anyway i can add one of those switches?

Pulled up the wiring diagrams, that should be C307 - "Transmission Shift Selector".
it would plug into the automatic shifter, here's the pinout, give's you a handy fused power and ground circuit if you ever need them there.

#2 - CDC41 (WH-BN)20 SWITCH - SOLENOID KEY LOCK (INHIBIT REMOVAL)early build

yes SC, the illumination circuit(violet wire with a grey tracer/stripe) is tied into the switch lighting which, judging by the transistor in the the smart junction box, should be pulse width modulated to allow LED dimming. use that for power and ground to the black with yellow wire. remember LED's have a specific positive and negative terminal.
and yes as well to Ace, #5(white with blue tracer) is a positive feed from fuse 46 which runs the signal side of a few relays, it's only a 5 Amp fuse so don't load it up, but it should work perfectly for a remote signal, it's hot in run and start. Where in NH are you from? I grew up there, lived in Barrington and Somersworth.

Moved up here to Epping 15yrs ago, man has this place grown... Right off of 27 heading toward Raymond about a mile from 'downtown' (lol - a church, pizza parlor, dry cleaner, and the town hall). That 5a circuit is just what I need for the remote signal, will let you know how it goes when I do the install.

nice, I have family in epping and I even worked at NED for a summer. As a dealership tech I have full access to workshop manuals and wiring diagrams, send me a PM if you ever need any help.
