Fuse Panel Update (1983 SC)

Recently I purchased an ATF blade style fuse panel for my 1983 SC from Fred Cook. He immediately shipped it and I was very impressed with the build quality. I reviewed his included directions and ensured I understood of the process. I photographed the old panel prior to starting on the project.



I carefully labeled each group of wires and crimped them as I progressed.



After I removed the old panel, I found one unconnected solid gray wire that appeared to have been connected. I stripped the wire back to get fresh metal, as depicted in the below photo. It was near the #2, #3, and #4 fuse on the panel. I reviewed my photos and threads on the board to try to figure out where it should go, but no luck. Fred's included instructions indicate there is a single gray wire leading into and a single gray wire out of fuse #2 for the license plate light. I have the in and out gray wires already connected and the license plate light works. Logically, it would connect to either the in or out in fuse #2, but how can I ensure I get it right? I tested it and it does not have power to it when the lights are on, which actives the license plate light.

I am looking for suggestions. I appreciate your guidance!

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

Should it be plugged into the top or bottom of the fuse panel? It does not have power, so I presume it should connect to the upper side. Does anyone else have two gray wires plugged into the top output portion of the fuse panel?

I appreciate the help.
