Hi. I am trying to untangle the wiring mess on my new 76 LTD and accidentally cut the wire to this sensor or switch. Can someone tell me what it is, and where I need to reconnect the black wire? I can't seem to identify it by either pictures or the wiring diagram in the Honda Shop manual.
Many thanks in advance.

I'm not so sure about an inner child, but I have an inner idiot that surfaces every now and then..

Looks like someone has added an oil temperature sensor.

That is a possibility. There is a temp gage on the fairing 'dash', but I assumed it was for coolant. The gage displays a temp range of 0-300 F. Any idea what normally goes in that spot (on the motor
)?

My 79 just has a plug there.

Google is my friend again. Checking multiple images, it does indeed appear that there was just a plug there, and that DaveO430's estimation is most likely correct as well. I have removed the wire and will shop for a plug once more pressing tasks are completed.
Thanks, All. Enjoy the riding season while it's here.
