Gents: under the dash, after removing the radio for service, I found a loose orange wire. It has a v-shaped shiny clip on the end of it, and it's about 8 to 10 inches long, so it goes somewhere in the area of the radio. Anyone know what it might be?
I did notice the glove box light switch does not have a wire going to it: is this it? I have never seen an electrical connector like this.

It sounds like the glove box wire, the V shaped wire plugs into the combination glove box switch-light. It is usually hot.

The above replies are logical. What is the correct bulb for the glovebox lamp? There was a bulb in it but it was not right: it was just stuck in and fell right out. the switch looks new.
This is a friend's car and it is almost perfect: a retired fireman restored it and it is just like working on a new car. Underneath the dash, looking up, is amazing: it is literally brand new.

Glove box #53 or #57 bulb. Socket ends the same for either one.
