What are the 2 relays located inside the shifter console on a 72 used for?

The one on the right (passenger side) is for the wipers. Not sure about the left side.

More than likely power windows....but it also possible can be for the factory alarm...I know that the factory alarm relay was put that..just can not remember the year it started...and I also know the alarm stuff can be back in the jack storage area also. GM moved this stuff around from time to time....BUT I am almost positive it is for power windows.

Thanks guys! My alarm is in the back compartment so it has to be the wiper and window which both works. I'm installing a leather shifter boot on my auto shifter and installing a new Heater/AC control switch and wanted to check the relays while I was in there.
