Help me identify these connections...

While rehabbing my interior I removed the dash about 3 months ago. While reassembling last night and going through the notes I made during removal I discovered 2 connectors and a relay that I did not put in my notes... Does anyone know where or what these connect to?

Not sure right off the bat about the two connectors, but the relay is for the power antenna whether you have one installed or not.

I should clarify there locations... The 2 connectors are attached to the main harness for the ECM, 1 being actually attached to the ECM frame.
Trickster - thanks for the reply!!

If that's the case about the location of those two connectors, that should be the famous connector C207. I couldn't see the wires going into it in that picture.

The relay pic has them to the right of the picture. The one that isn't attached to the ECM frame is clearly visible. Is that the C207, and WTF is a C207?!

EDIT I just did a search on C207, it's the VATS system, right? When I try to start the car it acts like the VATS interrupts I've experienced before so that makes perfect sense. I have the VATS module attached to the back of the HVAC ductwork and hooked up, what the heck do these connect to?!

Connector C207 is just what the name implys. C= connector and 207 is the number that GM designated it with. Therefore C207 means Connector #207. No this connector is not related to the VATS system other than the fact that the dark blue wire from the VATS control module goes through pin "L" of it on its way to pin "B6" of the ECM. Send me a PM on the possible problems you are having with VATS. Here is a picture of C207 and its pin-outs for your car.
