Identify unused wire connectors under center console
 
I took off my console to fix broken e brake switch and noticed two unused wire connectors. One just under front and one towards back. I assume they are for options I don't have but would like to know for sure.

Anybody know what these are?

heated seats perhaps?

Man, I had my console apart early spring but don't remember exactly were those go. IIRC, there is an electrical connection at the console lid lock area. I'm certain its not for heated seats.

I am almost certain that the connector in the first picture is for the cellular phone option that very few people purchased. (It’s a convenient source of power and ground for modifications such as an integrated garage door opener.)

I am not certain about the second one. Could it be for the light in the ashtray? Many people replace the ashtray with a small bin called the non-smoker option. (That may not be the precise name.) If a previous owner swapped out the ashtray, they would have disconnected the light.

Yes, front one is for the phone option:

The other is security circuit for the console compartment latch:
