Default Mystery Tube Under Headliner

Greetings, Cat Masters,

Tried to incorporate this question in my previous clip question, but received no responses. Thought I would try it in a separate post.

In preparing for the reinstallation of my headliner, I encountered this question:

There is a thin black tube with a screw-in connector that is coming from the passenger rear quarter that was clearly under the headliner, but I cannot seem to locate what it is to connect to, if anything. My car is a '94 base model, and wonder if this was for the interior alarm sensor that is part of the higher trim level, but not present on my car. Based on the amount of time that has passed since I took out the headliner, I cannot recall if it was hooked up to anything. There are no rear passenger courtesy lights on the rear pillars, either.


Can anyone help identify this tube, and what it could be attached to?

Thanks in advance.

TC

If you have the sunroof, it could be a drain tube from up there. There are 4 drain tubes, one at each corner. Show us a pic, it may be more plain. The wiring in the body was mostly wrapped in black tape not conduit.
