My park lights and my cluster lights do not work. I checked all the plugs and grounds on the back of the cluster. I searched the forums and found a similar thread. The #2 post on this thread sparked me. I remembered that I left out a small connector on the engine harness because I couldn't find the female connector for it.

I left out a small plug that was mentioned in the post.
I took pics of the plug. It has 10 wires and is fair small. There isnt much length of wire on the plug so it must plug in somewhere near the ECU.
Here are pics:

Yep, it is near the ECU. You know those bunch of plugs that come in through the firewall? 3 of them plug into the ECU. Then there are 3 or 4 more plugs that plug up in the same area. This is one of those plugs, but I don't see a female connector for it anywhere.

Thanks ATL. You've been a big help to me. Much appreciation. I'm gonna go check right now to see what I can find.

I took out the ECU and the skid control, I disconnected all 9 plugs and pulled it through the firewall and into the engine bay. Then I check for where the plug is supposed to plug into; I found nothing. Nothing at all. I ran my hands along the heater core boxes and found nothing either. I don't know what it could be for.

I hope you didn't break it off.

I couldn't have broken it off. If there's no connector back there, then it must've been disconnected the whole time because theres nothing back there. There could be a chance I'm not seeing what you guys are seeing. If I had a pic it would be better. Trying to dig back there is a little difficult. I doubt there was anything back there because I didn't have any trouble disconnecting any plugs. They were all 1-2-3.
Does anyone know what the plug is for?

I tried going to sleep around 12 and I fell asleep. An hour later I was having a dream about some chick around the block showing me her tits... LOL.. Then I woke up and decided I wasnt gonna be able to sleep peacefully without knowing what that plug is for.
I did some searching and found this:

That connector turns out to be connector M1.
M1 - Located near the ECU behind the glove box. Handles most signals going to the combination meter
Now I'm learning that this connector must have never been hooked up.
I've come to this conclusion because my oil pressure gauge never worked, my tach never worked, my reverse lights never worked, my CEL never worked.
This connector correlates with all of those functions.
Now I know what the plug is for, but I need to know where it goes. I searched the whole thing and I can't see anything. Then again I usually miss shit thats right in front my eye. =/
Anyone got a clue as to whereabout it plugs in?

Well I wouldn't doubt it being lost. I got the car 2 years ago and I did a complete interior swap. Everything was taken out and replaced. I just now looked at a picture I took 2 years ago, when everything was out. I can see the female connector lying on the floor. So I know the connector is in there. Now it's time to go get it. Thanks for all the help guys, couldn't have done it without you. ATL, you're somethin else bro. I owe you one.
Thanks again,

If you look closely, the plug is on the ground.
