Rear passenger aux wire end location?

[Tomcat2]

Ford was nice enough to pre-wire 6 aux wires to various locations. The rear passenger (orange / white) wire runs from behind the rear passenger side panel up to behind the glove box area. Anyone know where it ends? All 5 other aux wire ends are tucked and accessible except this one. Where does it end? It's bad enough it requires a brain surgeon to get to it, but it appears it's only a section of wire that's visible and continues on to somewhere???

TIA

I think the manual has a diagram for the aux wiring.

The orange/white wire is NOT powered and merely provides a connection between its beginning & end.

This wire can be found on the passenger side:
- behind the front speaker kick panel, the wire will be taped to the wire bundle located under the dash and toward the outboard side. It then runs under the passenger door sill and ends:
- behind the passenger cargo area panel between the seatbelt and mounting location for the soft top.

if you can’t find it, it is very easy to simply snake a new wire in this location. In fact, I recently added a rear light and ran my own 14 AWG wire instead of using the orange/white wire.

Also, keep in mind, if you want to add power to the Orange/white wire you will need to connect it to a powered wire from the Aux switch bundle. Under the dash (and near the orange/white) are 2 separate wires (brown/white & solid white) that run to the Aux wires under the hood. You will the need to connect the Brown/white or white to the orange/white wire and then the other end of that wore to the corresponding aux wire to power the circuit.

Correct. Thanks for all the replies. I found the wire (orange and white) just needs an excessive hard pull to remove the end out of the loom. It's enough friction that the shrink tube end cap comes off from the tension. This is unlike all 5 other aux wiring stubs that are soo much accessable and obvious.

I know this is old but it was number one hit on search and this last post was a life saver for me. No other info/videos seem to give the tip that if you can find the wire but cant find the end then just pull on it. However, the final tip is that need to pull this orange/white wire towards the front of the vehicle as it it is looped and then taped from the harness on this one . This was opposite direction than I was thinking especially considering it is ran to the rear. The grey/orange wire in glove box can also see and get much more access to it by just pulling it out too (but it is easier to locate). Kinda obvious once done, but very frustrating when just looking at a rats nest of wiring not knowing how they are placing them.

Wires under the hood can get better access by unwrapping the electrical tape thst holds them to the loom.
