Hey all, 69 Dart Swinger 340 here. Does anyone recognize what this wire may be for?

Most likely turn signal.

Go to mymopar.com and get your cars wiring diagram and look for the color in the front wiring diagram
 
Side marker light.

Not turn signal, that has a two connector plug.

Since the Swinger was considered a "stripper" model, it probably didn't have fender mounted turn signals, although the plug could still be present in the harness- so it could be that too since it used the same type plug as the side marker.

The 69 wouldnt have had side marker lights on any trim packages far as I know. 69 came with reflectors. This is the best explanation though and that does look like fabric insulation on that wire.
 

Dart and Valiant got the same engine & light harness.
Option L31 was the fender mounted turn signal indicators. If the colors match then that's it.
 
That wire should be tucked into the folded metal harness retainers.
 
That connector looks like the one on my '72 for the fender mounted turn signals. It breaks out of the forward light harness in the area of the side marker light.

If you follow it back it should T off the Park and Turn connector as shown.

I do have the printed and Pdf service manual.
Been using it as a guide for the full front suspension rebuild.

Regarding the wire. Im pretty sure it is for the top of fender turn signals. The original paperwork says the car had them. It no longer has them. I'll have to check with my multimeter if they work, but I'm certain at this point that's what they're for. Now for the decision on if to add them again. I like the idea of them, but don't really love how they look.
