Default Help Identifying a Switch

What is this? It appeared on day one the floorboard of my S2. I can't remember if I found it on the drivers or passenger side. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It looks like the shape of the power seat harness. Maybe it's a dummy plug for the harness if your car doesn't have that option.

Mine has power controls to tilt back/forth and raise/lower the seats...

I've never seen one that shape with that few pins in my car. The connectors for the power windows, mirrors, and radio look like that but they have more a lot more pins.
Also... it would have wires running into it. Not likely the wires would fall out. I would assume it was a dummy plug like Mello said.

That makes sense. I still don't know what it's a dummy plug for, but fair enough. Thank you both for the input.

No problem. Only other thing I could guess is it being a jumper plug. Not that I have ever seen one of these, but I've only worked on my 86 n/a.
You can open these up by prying off the back (rarely they break, though, from being old and plastic) and see if there are wires that run between the pins. If there is I would assume it acted as a jumper for something.
