Default Need help identifying this plug!

I just picked up a 98 ws6. Trying to diagnose the drivers seat not working. Pulled the shift boot and found this connection under there unplugged. Any ideas to what this goes to?

it goes to either the cig lighter socket or the accessory socket in the center console.
undo the shifter **** by turning it counter-clockwise, it may be tight.
then open the center console lid where your elbow would sit when shifting, under the coin thingy there are 2 8mm screws holding the plastic console around the shifter down. undo them then you can lift the center plastic piece up and off the shifter and access things in there. be aware when you lift up there are 2 more tabs that hold the console down and they are on either side of the shifter opening, they just pull out but be careful not to go left/right with it to break the plastic.

That's not for the lighter or power port. It's in the same area but would be the harness for TCS or the convertable roof. If you don't have either, it just hangs loose under the console.
