Driver's side under dash wires

I can't figure out where these two loose wires went. The car is an 87 Camaro auto converted to a 6 speed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

One of those wires is pretty short so it obviously can't go far... yet I can't find anywhere to put it!

The plug with the orange and white wires is the brake light switch.

The other looks like it has to do with the starter.

Re: Driver's side under dash wires

I found out where the larger purple and grey wired plug went. It hooks up to the fog lights.

However, I'm still baffled by the super short plug with one orange and two white wires.

Any ideas?

Re: Driver's side under dash wires

mines unplugged too and i see what plugs into it. I remembered a mechanic mentioning he disabled the cruise control circuit due to a short in the steering column, so a possibility it could be the Cruise.
