Default Loose Wires at CE

Just got acquainted with the central electric panel this past weekend ... after putting it back in I found some nearby unused connectors coming out of the harnesses as shown in the photo.

One must be for the glove box light (the glove box is out), and I'm wondering what the others are for. The two wide black connectors on the right in the photo obviously go together, but the car runs fine without them connected, so makes me curious what, if anything, I'm missing this way ...

I believe that's the alarm harness, and a PO must have by-passed it previously for the car to run without that being clipped.

The big one is for the electric headlight adjusters - you don't have them on a US car - so most connectors are unused - on a USA car it doesn't metter if its connected of not.

It only applies to the later model S4's and GTS models
