I see some other posts agreeing with you on the cruise control. Funny that not one of them states where is is connected to. Lol
Cruise takes 3 wires; set, accel/resume, & common. So, probably not that. The one for the cruise does look just about like that though.
The other side of the cruise connector was a little white thing in my car, looked alot like a card-edge connector on the end of regular wires. I'd expect that to use a similar mate.

VATS maybe?
I was actually hoping myself it was the horn ground as on the old column my horn wasn't working . When I disconnected the old column that wire seemed to just come out and I never got to see where it came from.

I pulled the cruise control off my car a few years ago since the previous owner converted the Cross Fire Injection to Carb, and half the crap was disconnected.
But I save all the parts. I pulled the tub of parts out and rummaged around from the Cruise Control Transducer (in the engine compartment) there's is a harness of 4 wires (two plugs) that come off the unit, plus a vacuum line. This passes through the firewall. The Vacuum line goes to a "valve" or switch located on a bracket by the Brake Pedal. When depressed it disengages the cruise control. The wires from the transducer appear merge into one plug (female) that plugs into a male plug from the steering column.
Unfortunately, I cannot verify under my dash since it's currently taped up for paint prep!
I forgot to post the picture of the actual harness from my parts tub.
There are three harnesses into the interior, all should hookup around the steering column. One goes to the brake light switch for sure, and the other pedal release switch (according to the GM Part Number in my book, 25509432.
Still can't find where the plug goes, but it should be close by.
I found the replacement turn signal switch (that contain the plug picture).. Not only does it control the CC but other stalk functions.
That black one with the 3 wires is for the cruise stalk. The 3-cond cable for it that comes out of the column plugs in there. You can see how it looks kinda like a card-edge conn down in there.
The pink/blk no doubt plugs into the fusebox to get power for the cruise. Not sure exactly where the green one goes; probably related to the brake light and/or clutch sw.
