I don't recognize it. What are the wire colours - you may be able t figure it out from the wiring diagram.

http://oljeep.com/ is a most useful site.

I believe the looms had wiring for all models, it's probably an option you don't have. Although i don't know what would be in that area.
Do you have all the emission controls still attached?

Thanks for the info I will check it out. Most of the emissions have been removed I don’t have a/c either.

Curious if it's a CA emissions Jeep by chance? I don't recognize it either.

I've got a CA A/C 83. Didn't see that connector, but mine has 3 others going no where in the same vicinity.

Steven,
Can you double check the wire colors and if the have a trace stripe?

I'm not seeing anything in the diagram for white and black in the same 2-pin connector...

I also checked my 82 and could not find the same connector, but hard to say what year my harness is, was installed by previous owner in a glass body.

Upon looking closer it’s a black wire and then white with black stripe

Steven,
I cannot find that particular connector in my FSM, but the white wire with the black trace is listed throughout the diagram as reverse light circuit. The solid black is typically a ground wire. You mentioned back-up lights not working....so I'm guessing you guessed it...

Sorry I cannot verify.

Thanks for digging into that, I’ll check it out and see?
