basically...you can ignore it.
Thanks for the reply stl. I was worried because I have already found one wiring surprise in this car - a wire with is own fuse - almost like an add-a-fuse - coming from the telephone fuse (e6 if I remember if the top of my head) that runs over to and terminated on the center console carpeted trim piece. Disconnect that wire from the dust box and the car won't even turn over. Freaked me out the first time it happened. What's really wired about it is that panel is made of plastic and carpet, so I don't even understand how exactly it grounds. I was worried that radio switch may play into that wire somehow. I'll have to take a pic and pay it on here to see if anyone else's is sweet up this way.

Anyway, thanks again for the reply!
