Should be made into the harness as this was Not a dealer installed option. Connector may be used on both type of rear defrost/ defogger, soooo. All terminals may not get used.

Again, this is 1973, but I think the switch is 1972. Connector had only three wires (labeled A B C on plug). 1972 looks like the Brown wire was Pink. I don't know what goes on the fourth terminal.

Ground is in that harness on the connector. The connector fits BOTH styles of rear defrost/defog switches.
