No loom I've ever got included that wire. Are you sure the old one's not inside the windscreen pillar still? If so, it'll at least help pull a new one through

the courtesy light wires are seperate from the loom
of course they comefrom the light to the dash area and then too the courtesy switches and then into the main loom

it is infact inside the pillar!! but stack hard inside I suspect that someone used bodyfiller to repair something and they are stuck to it! that's my guess!! there are 4 wires coming downn from the roof!

the rear lamp on gpo vans was operated by a switch under the dash board, mainly by the drivers side
