    Hey everyone! So I had the fuel pump fuse burn up on me (thankfully it was in my garage and didn't leave me stranded) and so I replaced both fuse boxes with the Birdman's fuse boxes. Great idea btw! While I was putting in the new fuse boxes, I noticed a terminal in the upper right corner that has no wire in it and is not even crimped. Does anyone know anything about that? Also, my 3x8 is a 83 GTS US version. Cheers everyone!

    Doesn’t look original. It was once use for grounding accessory like radio, amp, or something like that.

    Okay thanks. There is an after market CD player in it so I am sure it has something to do with that. I have the original cassette player and will most likely re-install that.

    His question was a bit unclear. He's not talking about the unused fuse male spade terminals -- he's talking about the loop terminal with the (uncrimped) blue sleeve and no wire under the hex head screw next to the Phillips head screw. I'm with Mike -- it's not a stock F part.

    It's a non factory ground wire.

    Could have been for any number of personal add ons

    Thank all! Glad it is nothing important or missing from the car.
