I have purchased a OEM map light for my 1986 Dodge D150 pickup but I cannot find the female connector to hook it up. Since the truck did not originally have a map light was the connector not included in the dash wiring harness?

Just so you know we are paying attention to you just don't have any answers,I do how ever have a guess. The map light you bought is it for a 86 D150 for sure? I have had bunches of Dodge vans and they all seem to have plenty of 'extra' wire/plug ins etc.for optional equipment.Knowing MoPar my guess would then be that they used one wire loom for all similar models no matter what options were installed.Just a WAG but keep looking maybe needed an extension from it's plug in to the light. :shrug:

6shot is right- Dodge put extra power taps into the dash harness (as well as ground taps) for all the optional auxilliary equipment (spotlights, sirens, CBs, etc...). I believe the color you are looking for is a pink wire. It will have a breakout that will accept male bullet terminals. Look for one that is always hot.
