Help mapping green wire into oil gauge

Hi,

I've looked in my Bently manual for my wiring diagrams on the 1978 911 SC, but cannot seem to locate this green wire.

Does anyone know here it plugs in? I cannot see it at all on my diagrams.

Spare wire. Runs to unused terminal 2 of the male 14 pin rear fuse panel connector.
Lol Porsche schematic for 78 says it runs to terminal 8, but every harness I’ve worked on has it to 2 and the brown/white spare goes to 8.
Pic from 78 schematic coming.

Thanks for verifying for me! I will keep it as a spare and won't attach to the free terminal.

Hoping to start the car today!

Not sure if this helps, but here is the back of the gauge on my 82, to my knowledge it has never been out of the car.
