White plug on passenger door wiring harness?

During my wrapping process I had to remove my door panels. While disconnecting the wiring this small white clip fell off the wire. I wasn't sure which way it went on. What is it for? I taped it off and replaced the door panel so I could drive my car but dont see any affect on the function of the door system. What is it?

Does your window drop properly, when you lift the handle?

Window works, dropdown works, power locks work and courtesy light works. That's what's stumping me. What's left? I wouldn't think its airbag related, no warning light. ��

It's been a while since I've been in the door, so I don't remember, but I'd think the airbag connector would be yellow. Plus, like you said, it should have triggered the airbag light.

Speaker, maybe?

Mirror?

Heated mirror?

Haven't checked the speaker, radio didnt sound any different. The harness has a separate plug for the mirror not shown in my pic. I'm going to check them both. Thanks
