Missing Connector ID?

I've got a 1990 F-250 Custom 5.8 2wd E4OD that's had some mouse chewing damage on the wires (and a crazy bubba has done other things to it).
Does anyone know what connector should be here and whether the wires should be connected or left unconnected?
This connector is missing near the brake booster and wiper area, but the wiper connectors show completely different colored wires. The connector (intact) that's right next to this break goes up to the hood light, which functions fine, so that's not it.

The colors are quite faded, but one wire is gray/black and the other looks like tan/orange or brown/orange.

Thanks for the reply. I had a feeling it'd likely be for optional equipment. I don't have cruise, so I'll just leave these isolated and unconnected for now
