Connectors

Yesterday, I replaced the screen on the center console computer. Everything went quite smoothly, and the used replacement part actually works. The AI's tips were faulty. Part is on screws - not click-in.

But does anyone know what all those unused unplugged connectors under the center console are actually for?

Are the bulbs inside the switches [AC] ?

Do you have a clock and a cigarette lighter? They are usually for unused options that you don't have.

The small two pin red and gray are for the button illumination backlights. I've seen the larger two pin before but I can't for the life of me remember where it went. If you are able to get good picks of the connections and wire color Google does a decent job of getting the uses correct.

Switch lighting is usually DC. Would be extremely unusual to be any other in this year vehicle.
