Default Console wiring

I have my 1992 coupe console out, I just found three wires not connected to any thing, and they were when the car left the factory. They are orange pink and black and they are small gauge. Does anyone have an idea what they went to?
In the FSM it shows a accessory plug but in the view I'm looking at I cannot see any wire colors. I liked the old wire diagrams I could chase the colors.

Picture of connector would help. Probably for an option not on car. Connectors are numbered in fsm. If you come up with Cxxx you can figure out what its for.

That would be fine except there is no connector just the three wires taped off.

IDK I've never seen a GM harness with that condition.

8A-11-13 in the FSM is fused explanation for the wires you've found. The BLK (GRD) I'd think self explanatory. Wires should be PNK/BLK, ORG and BLK like you mentioned. I don't believe there was actually ever a plug but just 'blunt cut' wires.

I've seen a reference to the C269 in other FSM also but always thought just 'blunt cut' wires. In later year FSM it became C369 as a reference.

I am not sure what you are referencing when you mention C269 or C369. You are right on the wire color codes. Here are some pictures showing the wires and the connector they lead to. Thank you for your help. If this was a circuit that went no where I would have thought they would have not plugged in a pig tail with wires coming out and just taped them off.

They taped them off and used a 'pig tail' to ease your use for their intended purpose. 8A-11-13 should have been understood I'd have thought.
