Default Driver's Side Headlight Harness Tuck

Hey guys,

So I'm 95% done with my wire tuck, but out of nowhere, I have an extra wire just dangling on my harness! It's black, with a green stripe also with silver dots. I don't know what it could be wired to. Possibly to the A/C or power steering?

Currently I have these deleted:
Power steering
Air conditioning
Cruise control
Windshield wiper squirter motor

If somebody has a haynes manual, or knows the wire codes like the back of their hand, help me out!! I hope it's nothing I need to wire up to.

Thanks!

Well it didn't turn out to be my wiper motor, because I already extended it. So I connected my battery, turned out that everything was working in order (wiper motor, headlight, turn signal)

that's the only green/black wire i can find in the whole area. Might have to call the Honda dealership or buy a Haynes manual.

Really? I saw that there were two of them. I already extended the green-black-silver dotted one to the wiper motor. I tested out the wiper motor, and they rotate perfectly fine under every speeds.

I have a feeling that extra wire I was talking about could of been part of my A/C unit, or cruise control. Because all of my components now work.

I got rid of that washer fluid motor, maybe that's the unknown wire I was looking for. I might have that reservoir lying around somewhere in my shed.

it is most definitely the washer bottle motor. just de-pin it from the plug since your not using the washer bottle
