I went into the center console/panel today and have found 6 mystery connectors so far. The car has no radio, but does have cut wires behind where the radio goes. I'll post again after I get a picture of all this...
#1 and #2 - both are single wire connecors (assuming they're a pair because they are wrapped up with the factory white tape). One has a blue/gray wire, the other has two brown wires. It was near the clock and my guess is it powers the light... but there's no light bulb socket in the clock! Is my guess right/where do I get one of those? These cars are scarce in junkyards here.
#3 - same kind of connector as above. Has two blue/gray wires and no clear place to plug them into.
#4 - 6 wires in this harness. Red, brown, blue/gray, green, brown with yellow stripe, and blue with green stripe.
Found where it goes#5 - 4 connectors but 5 wires in the harness. From left to right (the connectors are in a row) - blue with black strpe, black with blue stripe, white with purple stripe, and light blue with yellow stripe & blue with yellow stripe sharing the last connection
#6 - This is lower in the center console, towards the passenger side: It has two rows of connectors numbered 1-14, even on one side and odd on the other.
#7 - See post below - either radio or rear wiper?
I also found the missing wires for the power mirrors. How do they plug into the switch? The wires are black, green, and blue.
From left to right the unpluggd connectors are:
#4, #5, #3, #1 and #2

Steve-
I think I can answer most of your questions since i'm dealing with the same issue... However, it would be best if you posted some pics (if you have a digital camera)...

Ok, once I got the conole out I found another mystery connector. Is this part of the radio, or does it have something to do with the rear wiper? I don't have it, but I know the hatch has been replaced in the past.

I don't have fog lights... maybe the car had them earlier. Where in the engine compartment do the fog light wires run? I'm still not sure if the car used to have a rear wiper. The wiring for harness 7 is long enough to reach where the switch would be, but it looks like the plug attached might be bigger than the switch would be.
edit: I know none of these wires go to the ashtray light. I found where someone cut it off about where the shifter is. Light and the rest of the wiring is nowhere to be found. Thanks to ckathens for posting pictures of his wiring in the other thread!

Ok, I figured out what all the connectors are for sure except for #6 and #7. And a blue/grey and double brown wire. From the diagram, it looks like there are two lights for the heater control? I can only find one location for a light. How many lights should there be?
#4 is fog light wiring. If my car had fog lights at one time I sure can't tell, and it looks like that block-off plate is on there pretty well.

Porsche uses a standard wiring harness for the most part, meaning the connector points are there for any possible option whether your car has them or not. You car likely did not have fog lights or the switch, but the plug on the harness will still be there. I know my car did not originally have fog lights, but I have added the switch and the relay and will use them when I install the Euro bumper (soon) and driving lights.

Good call on the cruise module - I didn't think of that and figured it was a diagnostic connector of some kind. Also, the standardized wiring makes sense. For awhile there it was kind of hard telling what was unplugged and removed by somebody and what was an option that wasn't installed.
I'm still trying to find out if there are two lights for the heater/blower controls or one. Anybody know for sure? It looks like the wiring diagram has two lights but I can only see the hole for one to go in.
