Default Unknown pigtail/traction control maybe?

I removed my console shifter cover and saw three wires not connected. I forgot to connect them back after I had the piece hydro dipped. Two of the connections were my cigarette lighters the third had no connection in sight. My friend found a pic of that pigtail in question online and said it was traction control. My car is a T/A without the WS6 option I've had the vehicle for 14 yrs it never had traction control. Did these vehicles come with the pigtail wired for that anyways. I'm trying to figure out if that wire is really for that purpose.

Yep, they were wired for TCS whether you had it or not. I have the same stray connector in mine.

Cool, I appreciate it! I don't ever remember seeing that when I stripped all of the interior out.
