Default what do these go to?

Been having some electrical issues on my 93 Trans Am. Been tracing down wiring under the dash and checking all connections. Can someone tell me what these go to? Thanks

Based on its location…it looks like driver side, to left of steering wheel, I’m going to say trunk release button…
…or possibly the fog light switch…

Appreciate the response but it’s neither of those. They are both hooked up and working.

Trying to think back from when I stripped the wiring out of my 93, however - Cigarette lighter? Mine (93 Z28 A4) was below the radio, center console, driver's side, left of the cubby (cassette carrier IIRC). It's only a two wire plug.

Edit: Disregard, that photo is left of the wheel like the previous post mentioned.

Any chance the two wires are purple/white and white/black? It's hard to tell from the photo since the wires are almost 30 years old and probably a little discolored. If that's the colors then that connector would likely be for the VATS key sensor.

I went a little further up the harness and they are grey and black. Vats have been deleted and wires have been put up.
