Two connectors going to nothing!

Car is a 90 Formula TPI. Awhile back, I noticed these two connectors by the power booster and relays not hooked to anything and there isn't anything in the vicinity for them to plug into that I can find. Just curious what these are for and what I might be missing? Appreciate the help!

The red one is the fuel pump prime connector, so you can bypass the relay to power the pump for test and emergency

Hey thanks! I had a feeling these might be some sort of test connectors, but wasn't sure. Now I just need to figure out what the other one is and then I can tuck them in the loom out of sight!

the connector with the blue wire is the hot wire for fog lights on my 90 camaro , not sure if it's the same for a firebird.

for some years i believe it's the daytime running light hot wire

Hmm. Well, the car definitely doesn't have fog lights, but maybe it's included in all harnesses from 90 up? My 89 has does not have that connector at least not that I can find, so that could be it. I know it's not DRLs as all Firebirds have pop-up headlights, so that's out.

in 1990 it was the fog light wire , in 91 and 92 i believe it was the drl wire as they moved the fog light wiring inside the cabin by the fuse panel
