Default Guess the plug

Hi,

I just read a post on here on how to hardwire a radar detector using the existing cig lighter next to the shifter.

I took the wood panel off and noticed there is another connection not being used. I'm sure it is power for some option I don't have.

The only buttons I have in that location are the headlight washer and snow mode, anyone have an idea of what this connection is for?

Thanks

Seat heaters? Those rotary switches are in the same area.

Well I ended up hardwiring my radar detector. Ran the cord between the dash and windshield, then down the side, underneath the glovebox and through the center column tapped right on to the gray wire of the cig lighter. Then grounded to one of the bolts holding the shifter column.
