What are these plugs for? (Inside drivers door)

In the process of fixing my exterior door handle and power door lock button today and I came across these 2 plugs just hanging and not hooked up to anything.

-I initially thought 1 might be for the power mirror option (but my truck doesn't have power/heated mirrors though.)

-So now I'm thinking 1 might be for the door panel reflector light??? (Do they light up? I ask because my door panel reflectors don't have a bulb or plug)

-my power door lock on the drivers side is not working, BUT the passenger power door lock button IS working, does one of these plugs connect to the power lock somewhere?

*EDIT; the black plug goes to my drivers door dome light switch, I plugged it in and when I open the drivers door the dome light works now! Still can't find where the grey plug goes though

Thanks guys for any assistance!

My guess would be even though you state you don't have them the truck is prewired for the heated mirrors......does the wire have power to it whenever the key is in the run position? if it does that would make sense because the mirror heat is on all the time on these trucks, at least on my 07 they are.

Thanks for the response, I'm going to be re checking today,
But I'm thinking it's actually for the door lock actuator or at least plugs into that harness somewhere (?)
I've done a bunch of searching and while I haven't found a list of which plug goes where, reading thru wiring schematics makes me think that's correct, plus my drivers side power lock button is completely dead and does nothing.
But it'd be nice if it IS for powered mirrors! That'd be a quick easy swap

The harness of the gray plug goes from the back of the door,
to the front of the door (hinges) and joins into the main wire harness of the power window and power locks.
A lot of the wire schematics I've seen, show a pink w/green tracer (?) and pink w/yellow tracer (?) wires (of the gray plug) going into the power lock actuator,
But I've looked all over the power lock actuator (even loosened it for a better view) and can't find another dang plug to connect this plug to anywhere.

All right....
Think I figured it out,
It LOOKS like the entire black plastic lock actuator is completely gone and missing (?)
Not sure why the previous owner would remove it and not replace it (?) even if it was acting up....
I'll post a pic tomm, but that explains why I can't find where to plug this wire in....
