Default Wire Question

Car is a '68 Coupe, ac, pw. I am certain this has been asked on here before but have not been able to run into the posting. So here we go again....I have a red wire with a plug connector and a yellow wire with a plug connector hanging down in the area by the driver side kick panel. The other wire in there is to the speaker. This wiring is Lektrik Limited that was installed a couple years back in the project by someone helping me work on the car who has since moved away. What do those wires connect to?

If the red has a white stripe I would say they are for the power windows. You may have to call lectric limited and ask. They are part of the regular harness by my schematics but they have and OEM style plug, obviously

Digging deeper it looks like the yellow wire is coming thru the driver side door so I gotta think it has to be to the power window or possibly the courtesy light switch. The red one seems to be heading up toward the speedo. Must be a speed warning option deal that I don't have. The yellow I should be able to run down with a bit more digging, such as looking at what is going on in the passenger side door. Maybe that will tell the story. I seemed to remember someone asking about a red wire in that area on this forum a while back and was hoping they would pop in with the definitive answer.

No longer convinced that the yellow wire is coming thru the door conduit. Here is an older progress photo I took of the wiring as it was being replaced. I can see a yellow and a red wire that look like they could be the ones in question. Any ideas now on what they are for and where do the plug ends connect?

Looking closer at my picture above that yellow wire appears to follow along down to the radio. Starting to think that may be the after market radio wire which would explain why I cant find it on diagrams. Starting to feel a little dumb here.....However I am stil at a loss for the red one.
