Help identifying connector?

Hi

I'm rebuilding my '85 Camaro that unfortunately has lead a bit of a hard life in the wiring department. At this stage i have pulled the harness out and i'm identifying things to repair as much as possible (and remove excess added wiring because it's apparently always easier to add a new wire than to use what's already there...)

Anyhow, i'm having trouble identifying this single connector in the harness. Does anyone recognize it?

Colors going in is orange (courtesy), Gray (interior light) and black (Ground)
It's in the harness coming out at the same spot as the handbrake connector.




unidentified connector (so far)

That is actually a very good suggestion.
I had no idea you could have a console clock in these cars, but apparently you can.

And according to the schematics i have, the wiring colors do fit. It is distributed over two pages, one with the clock, and a different one with the light in he clock, which made it harder to ID. The ground wire seems to be the same in both drawings though.

Thanks! that just might be it.
