What is this plug??

So the PO of my truck has a toggle switch going to a harness under the dash that use to plug into what looks to be like a dead end or something? But anyone have any clue whats going on here? Is this maybe a torque converter lockup switch???

Also my radio wiring doesnt have a constant 12v going to it on the green/yellow wire and NONE of the speakers work... I bought the adapter and I just jumped the memory and power wire to the 12 ignition wire to make it turn on but no music? Maybe this is for the radio?

The one on the left looks almost like the door buzzer plug but hard to tell. The left looks like buzzer.

Just my guess though

X2 that's the door buzzer, he might have toggled it to silence the noise, I chucked mine within 2 days of buying the truck!

X-3, except mine was a very obnoxious ding, ding, ding, dingier. I'll take a look at the other plugs later this afternoon to see if I can identify them.

Defiantly the door buzzer then. Nothing to worry about on it.

That black block is the buzzer, and the other is the connector that goes to it.

ohhh gotcha. Doesnt have anything to do with the dome light does it? I fixed the radio. The amp was bad under the dash, so I ran wires from the back of the sterio to the connector that went to the speakers from the other side of the amp.
