Wiring up an electric wiper setup and this connector came with the wiring. The motor doesn’t have anywhere for it to plug in. What is it?

That's a jumper plug.
A female/male version of that plug will be on another wire. They would plug together.

There’s nothing to power but the wiper motor, so I assume I can just eliminate it.

If you can see the wire colors we can verify, but it's probably for the dome light that became available in '73 I think.
Not the under-dash map light, but the one mounted on the bottom of the wiper cover.

That makes sense. Maybe I’ll wire her a fine light. This is for my wife’s 67. I bought this setup many years ago snd just got around to installing it. It’s just a single 18 gauge wire to this connector

It’s for the light grounds under the wiper bracket
See if works by Turing the light switch all the way left

I used it to power a dome light with 2 map lights in one unit that came from a '75 F150. With LED bulbs all 3 are super bright. The dome light is controlled by turning the headlight switch counter clock wise. The map lights have their own switches, continuously powered. Just like in the F150 without the open door switches. I kind of like it better that way. Cop cars are set up like that.

As was said its for a dome. When they were introduced the wiper motor and linkage cover had a dome lite in it.

later models had a switched dome light in the plastic wiper cover it was hooked to those wires and worked by turning the headlight switch.
