Default Console Switch wiring question

Hi, I removed the console trim and saw there is a loose green wire. Where does it go? I don't use the spoiler since I have an aftermarket wing and not sure it goes there.

I'm also having troubles with the lights. They don't work since I did the LED conversion and that could be caused by bad soldering.

Anyone can help by looking at the pictures below? If that helps, it's an early 95 with only cab top and spoiler switch at the bottom.

Thanks!

The spoiler switch should have three wires going to it to pins 2, 5 and 6. According to my diagram they should be brow/green, green/red, and green and black respectively. Looking at the picture of the spoiler switch connector you should be able to open it up, I believe the top is hinged on one side and has some catches on the other. The electrical pins have a through hole at the top where the wire it soldered into place. Not sure why your wire has popped out but you might be able to see a little trace of solder on the pin where it belongs.
