Default Green wire ?

hey, i had an idea this morning when i woke up a cheap cosmetic idea.
i thought i might change the dash on the fairmont, where the rear demister, areial, c-locking buttons are. To having four buttons with the fairmont badge in between the buttons.
Like this

obiviously thats a Ghia badge but you get the idea behind it.

when i took the black plastic guard away from the buttons i came across an extra wiring loom/connector that is green


i then noticed that there are colour coded

Demister has a white sticker and a white connector
Arial has a Blue Sticker and a blue connector
C-Locking has a Orange sticker and a ornage connector

anyone know what the green is ment to go 2 ? its all wired up just like the others. any help would be greatly apreciated.

also i need a new button weather it be Traction contol or something else, as well as the new black surrond with badge anyone know where i can find 1 ? havnt tried wreckers yeat but im gettting there.

thanks brad`

Its for the traction control. The wiring harness is the same in fairmont as fairmont ghia, just you dont have hte switch or that function in the BEM "Turned On" and you dont have the right ABS system under the bonnet. I have the same in my fairmont. Best bet for the switches & new switch surround would be the wreckers (or ford). Sometimes you see them on ebay, but not to often.

i was ashuming it was for traction control. i dont necisarialy wont it working just want it so it lights up when the headlights are on.
i rang all the wreckers around here and i think they thought i was on drugs talking about 4 buttons instead of 3.. crazy talk it is.
