Unhappy Homeless connectors!

Have two connectors under my dash that seem to have nowhere to go. Any ideas? It's been apart for a year and I can't remember what they were for.

could be something your car didn't come with? i had to unbolt my PCM a few months back to run some wires for the auto trix kit and after i put the pcm back i found a gray wire with a plug on the end of it and couldn't figure out what it was for or where it came unplugged from. i googled it and it was a connector for the clutch safety switch. well, since my car is an automatic, that explains why it wasn't plugged in GM is known for using the same wire harness regardless of whether or not the car has an option on that harness or not.

94/2000 hybrid
My sig was several (10) years old, will update later

I just want to make sure everything is connected properly before I try to fire her for the first time. There will be enough other issues that I don't want to with the damn wiring.

Im pretty sure im wrong, but that is very close to where the fuel pump wire is. That's the only wire I can remember taking off from that area....

OK, it's a '94 body, glad you posted a pic, I also figured it was a Firebird.

You'll have to wait until tonight when I can go through the parts book one plug at a time. Good thing most are listed with their color also.

It is a 94 body only, EVERYTHING is from a 2000 including the wiring harness

The blue 8 way plug appears to be for the daytime running lights and goes into the headlamp auto control.

The only 10 way natural plug I can see is at the right hand hinge pillar and is listed as "to engine harness" but your picture shows it pretty far away from the right hand hinge pillar.

The wires won't extend any further than where they are. Maybe a module that goes behind the kick panel?

It's hard to tell. The GM parts catalog illustration does not show the exact locations of the two dozen or so plugs within the instrument panel.
