Need Electrical Help

Few things I have questions on....bought a 95 F-350 Crew Cab with the 7.3 a few weeks ago and am doing a total over haul restoration/build on it. TAKE NOTE I DROVE THE TRUCK 3 HOURS HOME WHEN I BOUGHT IT. While deconstructing I noticed this plug was not plugged into what I believe to be its respectable mate.



This is the plug I found disconnected.





This is the respectable mate for this plug I believe as they are both in the same location with no other empty plugs around them.

This connector is located under neath the dash in the center but closer to driver side. Anyone know what this connection is for? My guess is it has something to do with interior lights, the door buttons sensors, the warning buzzer, and all around interior lights as all of that is not working on the truck before I started deconstructing it.

Next question is if anyone knows what this thing is?





Found it in the glove box.




Last question has to do with the seats. I took the rear seat out a couple weeks ago and noticed it has a (+/-) button on the driver side of the bench seat and an ash tray on the back of the seat. Thought it was strange as I knew the back seat wasn't power adjustable and the ash tray was even stranger to me. Then apon taking the front seat out this past weekend I noticed there was a connector running up the driver seat belt buckle that was not plugged into anything and another connector a few feet from it not plugged into anything either. After seeing this I went and took a look at the seat I took out of the back and sure enough underneath there were connectors on the seat for the ones I had just found on the truck. One I am assuming is a safety feature that will light up the "Hey your seat belt's unbuckled" idiot light if you're driving without your seat belt buckle but what is the other? The connector underneath the seat connects to two motor looking objects with what looks to be vacum tubes coming off of them. We assumed that you can control the stiffness of the seat with the (+/-) switch located on the side. That was just our guess so if anyone has any idea what it actually is that would be great appreciated information! Thanks!



This is the plug attached to the seat belt buckle





Connectors that come off the driver side running boards.





Seatbelt Connectors plugged in.

The connector is for seat belt chime: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...10d840-aa.html

The +/- on the seat is for lumbar support.

Found out the first plug I mentioned in the post should be my warning buzzer mechanism. Looked on my buddies 1997 F350 today and that was his buzzer. His was the same size and location but different in that he had two holes in it towards the top of the block that the "Buzz" emits from where as mine does not have two holes....any ideas??
