Dash Wiring question

Hey all,

I changed out my dash bulbs a couple of weeks ago, and when I did, I found a group of wires with a connector not attached to anything near the cigarette lighter. The connector actually clipped to the dash. I'm thinking about hooking up a homelink unit I scavenged from another vehicle. The space next to the lighter would be ideal - especially if I can connect into the mystery wires. Any thoughts before I tear the dash out again?

Thanks,
Brad

I have a passenger airbag on-off switch there. You'll need to find the other end of that wire and change what it's hooked up to. What is the base color and the trace color?

Example: Orange/Yellow
