Default name this plug!

in the passenger footwell... Tracking down an issue with (a) my passenger window not working and (b) the computer throwing "no comm" codes, "reduced power," etc etc.. I think it has something to do with the window control module (https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-problems.html) but figured I'd see what this plug is first.

IIRC, it's the cable for the remote CD changer?

Actually, there are three orphaned plugs down there, a by the passenger fuse box... any of these have anything to do with my passenger window not working?

Do 2 of those 3 connect together? Seems like they might.

I went and pulled mine out for ya, 2 of the connections go to the cd player that would be in the back. The third I could not see. I cut and adapted the cable that normally went to the back so both connectors are up in front for the i pod adaptor. I attached a few photos.
Man, I was fighting to put the fuse panel cover back on, then realizing that the cover goes on with the lettering up side down. Hope I didn't mess anything up, I was really forcing it. I don't think the other would have to do with the window.

I think they all might be for the harness, was trying to find i pic of the harness but couldn't find one. I installed it 15 years ago, iPod days, lol, and don't remember the details.

Did you try the old jiggle the accordion tube in between the door and the fender? Lots of people have found the gremlin in there, loose connection or bad wire/ broken wire.

yup, I did, and yup, that was the issue...jammed my hand in there trying to find the connection, where exactly is the connector? I'm sure I just jiggled it back into place.

IIRC, remove the tube from the body side and pull the harness out
