So this connector in my rear quarter panel is shot. I cut it out to splice the wires together and just realized there are 6 wires for the male side of connector and only 5 for the female. What do I do with the extra wire?

My Check engine light goes on when it is warm, I have had it checked and it read no issues and then no connection.. It runs fine with no issues, just the light. I also some some blow back from my tranny when it gets warm and was told i need a tranny cooler.. Can this be one and the same?
I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee 4.0. Everyone I talk to has no answers.
Thank you.

So i asked before.
Problem: with the headlights off, and when I hit the brakes the front blinker lights and dash lights and HVAC controls all light up.
At first i thought it may just be a funky circuit thing cause my driver side marker light, 3rd brake light were burnt out but I changed the bulbs and it's still doing it. Is there a ground by the pedals that could be messed up or something? Just started randomly.

I,m not sure, but I think it has something to do with LED grounds, they all need separate grounds, but don't quote me on that. I would try Goggling it and see what happens.
