Ok, I put the engine back in the frame last night and I was buttoning up the wiring and found I had a spare wire. I went to my stash of photos that I took before I took it apart and found that it was not used when I first got the bike.
These were taken before the restoration. (1997 S3T running bike)

Is that a plug leading to a disabled sidestand safety switch?

that was my guess. I removed mine cause it was giving me issues.

The side stand switch is plugged in. It has a smaller White connector.It's located just below the oil bag.
Before I took the bike apart I put 800 miles on it, to see what needed to be done. I checked the operation of the clutch safety switch,front and rear brake light switches and the side stand switch (so I thought).
You can see it directly under the oil bag.

Any other thoughts? I will get the battery back in the bike by Friday (new on charger) to check full system operation. Thanks

That looks like the wire and location that goes to the hugger mounted tag light in mt S1W. Why it would be on an S3 I have no idea. If you have an electrical meter, see if its ignition switched. Can't think of what else would be down there...
