Default Help me figure this out..

In the BCM compartment I found this connector that I cannot figure out. Everything is plugged in like it's supposed to and I found this plugged to what seems to be an old aftermarket GPS tracker. I pulled that off and now trying to figure out if this is for some accessory. Maybe for the passenger airbag switch? My car is a 99 so I'm 99% sure these did not come with the option for the airbag switch.

This is NOT an actual picture of my car, but it is the same plug with the orange/yellow/black wires.

That is an accessory power supply. One wire is hot all the time, one is switched with the key and I'm not sure about the black wire, probably ground. There is info on the forum here about it. I have my GPS connected to it on the switched side.

Here is some info. Note that GM did not do this in 2004.


In the passenger foot well there should be 3 auxiliary power wires.

Orange wire taped off. Always powered from Fuse #7 (20 Amp). This Fuse/wire is shared with the cigarette lighter.

Orange wire to a connector. Always powered from Fuse #1 (20 Amp). Wire not shared with anything.

Yellow wire taped off. Powered from ignition switch when "On". Powered from Fuse #11 (20 Amp). Not shared with anything.

Here is a link with more info and pictures:
