Default Mystery Wire Connector

I was working on my shift plate light (due to prior Bubba repair) and noticed this guy sticking out from underneath the console near the climate control & radio areas. Does anyone know what this plugs into? Schematics I find are so blurry its not possible to make out what it this connector goes to.

Blue Yellow Grey = radio
Blue Green Yellow ??? was the radio amplifier

That might be it just slide down if the radio was changed

Its a 3 wire connector (yellow, blue, green).
Blue and Green live next to each other with the yellow on top of the connector housing.
This car does have a different radio in it. Someone "upgraded" to a cassette player lol.

The orange wire comes off the cigarette lighter as does a skinny gray wire.

Blue green yellow I believe goes up to the multiplexer so it might be that one



I've got it downstairs somewhere so I could check the plug
